One of my favorite Miss USA and eventually, Miss Universe.
She had an unconventional beauty coming into the Miss Universe pageant, compared to, say, Miss Venezuela who eventually settled as 1st runner up.
But she had the X-factor that night, the winning aura, the confidence...
Not the nicest EG, true...
But when she started talking...well, that's another story.
What a delight! Totally deserving of the Miss Universe title.
And still a beauty till this day...
