Here is a link to a photo of Ruta Lee and Alex Trebek, standing in front of the main game board on High Rollers, featuring the "Face Lifters," screen:

That fro and stache is envious.

I was the one who bought the photo. I received it yesterday and noted an interesting error in the typed description lists the face on the board behind Ruta and Alex as Joan Rivers, not Ruta Lee.

I could make the argument that it is in fact Joan and not Ruta.

Looking at photos of Joan from the 1970s I could definitely see it now...

You know, you could be right, but I just thought it looked like Ruta Lee's picture. There was no mention from the eBay listing as to whom it is. I shouldn't have said that it was her, so I apologize if I'm wrong.
IIRC, the opening into of the show, after this new format began, showed piece by piece being uncovered and always showed the image of Alex Trebek.

I think the eyes and the mascara are deceiving - it does look like Ruta, and it does look like Joan. I would assume they used Ruta's photo as to not spoil potential game material.
