Vicki was raised in a Bible-believing, piano-playing home with no TV. Her father was a Baptist deacon, ex-vaudevillian, and gymnastic coach, so she competed in gymnastics from age 5 to 18. While at college on a gymnastics scholarship, Vicki discovered drama. An audition put her in contact with Johnny Crawford (\u003ci\u003eThe Rifleman\u003c\/i\u003e) who promptly put her in his nightclub act and gave her a one-way ticket to Hollywood. Vicki supported herself by typing at the American Cancer Society, waitressing at The Kipling Retirement Home, and being a cigarette girl at the Variety Arts Center where Johnny Carson's talent scout saw her six minute stand-up comedy act and put her on \u003ci\u003eThe \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eTonight Show Starring Johnny Carson\u003c\/i\u003e where she appeared over twenty times. In 1992 Vicki was reunited with her high school sweetheart, Paul Wessel, and left show business to raise a family in the suburbs of Miami. In 2007 she finished her B.A. in Film at Palm Beach Atlantic University. Vicki still performs stand-up comedy and appears in an occasional film. She and her husband now reside in Nashville, Tennessee, to be near their daughters and grandchildren.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Broadstreet Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50704920969490,"sku":"9781424555628","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_e5e7ed2d-57de-4efa-b383-61cc4c83ad3c.jpg?v=1734482577","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/lavender-hair-21-devotions-for-women-with-breast-cancer-9781424555628","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
