Early life and family

Giovanna “Gigi” Santo Pietro was born on 1 July 1997, in Los Angeles USA, so under the sign of Cancer, and holding American nationality.

She was born into the family of popular American actress and TV hostess, Vanna White, and a restaurant owner and real estate manager, George Santo Pietro. She has an older brother, Nicholas “Nikko” Santo Pietro. Gigi spent her childhood and youth witnessing the luxurious life of her parents, so she was not new to the entertainment industry. However, it didn’t impress her much, and she decided to go down her own path, not becoming an actress or a TV hostess, as her celebrity mother. However, she still posts her mother’s pictures on her Instagram account, and sometimes shares funny videos of her father.

One of them went viral, as it showed how a small bird flew into the room her father was sitting in, and landed right on his head, while he was calmly commenting on the situation.

Gigi’s mother, Vanna White

Vanna Marie Rosich was born on 18 February 1957, in Conway, South Carolina USA, into the family of Miguel Angel Rosich and Joan Marie Rosich. Her father divorced her mother when she was a young girl, so she took the surname of her step-father, a former real estate broker, who name was Herbert Stackley White Jr. Vanna started her career as a model, participating in various pageants from 1978, fighting for the Miss Georgia title.

Right after her occasional appearances among the participants of the show called “The Price Is Right”, she was invited to become the co-hostess of the game-show “Wheel of Fortune” in October 1982, when the previous hostess Susan Stafford left the show.

Later she landed minor roles in such series and movies as “Gypsy Angels” (1980), “Graduation Day” (1981), “Midnight Offerings” (1981), etc., then started appearing in various shows and series as herself: “The A-Team” (1983 – 1987), “Gimme a Break!” (1981 – 1987), “Santa Barbara” (1984 – 1993), and “Double Dragon” (1994).
