Clint Eastwood’s daughter Kimber Lynn Eastwood has been behind the scenes of Wheel of Fortune since 2005 as a makeup artist. The game show is one of many sets where she has showcased her professional artistry in the past two decades.
Lynn recalled how she went from watching the show, alongside Jeopardy!, with her grandmother from Scranton, Pennsylvania, her mom, and her aunts to becoming a member of the team. The 60-year-old also shared her thoughts about the latest changes in the program.

Before her makeup artist career, Kimber was into film as an actress and producer, but life had better plans in store. She studied acting and would spend her days auditioning and nights waitressing at Marmalade Cafe in Westlake, all while being a single parent.

On the side, Kimber was also learning to do makeup and this caught the attention of her boss, who urged her to check out Wheel of Fortune. Luckily, Kimber landed the spot and occasionally took care of former host Pat Sajak and letter-turner Vanna White’s appearances. She also gets to touch up contestants’ faces and make new friends on the job.
Kimber Eastwood’s contribution behind-the-scenes
Kimber also puts a spin on her job with makeshift therapy for tensed-up contestants as she tries to calm them down before their stage appearance. Having worked with Pat and Vanna for nearly twenty years, she confirmed that they are both the kindest and most humble individuals to collaborate with.
Per Pat’s retirement and immediate replacement with Ryan Seacrest, Kimber commended the handover, saying the new host is a professional and the best fit for the job. Kimber added that Ryan reminds her of Pat with his quick wits and sharpness, as opposed to the mean comments from nostalgic fans.
