Summer Bartholomew

Summer Robin Bartholomew (born November 20, 1951) is a model and actress who gained fame for winning the 1975 Miss USA pageant, and also appearing in the Michael Landon film Love is Forever.

Summer is best recognized among game show fans as the longtime (1984-89) hostess of Sale of the Century and her appearance in the audience of The Price Is Right on March 19, 1976, with host Bob Barker noting her presence.

Her association with Wheel of Fortune began as early as Brides' Week in January 1977, where she modeled various bridal gowns which were available for purchase. She returned that Fall to fill in for Susan Stafford after an injury, and again from May 24 to June 1, 1979 for the same reason.

Following Susan's departure in October 1982, Summer was among the candidates to replace her; she lost to Vanna White, who had coincidentally appeared on Price in June 1980.
