After Beryl New, from Topeka, Kansas, correctly guessed the opening puzzle, host Pat Sajak kicked off the interview portion by revealing that she once met White at an airport. “I did.

Dominic West is in the "very early stages" of making a movie about legendary horse Red Rum. The 'Crown' star is hoping to direct a film about the late equine, who won the Grand National three times in 1973, 1974, and 1977, and he is surprised a motion picture about the sporting legend hasn't been made before.
