I met Margaret Gardiner in La Mirada, CA when she was a special guest that year at the Miss California USA Pageant. Had my photo taken with her. Charming and absolutely beautiful. Real tall too!
hermosa muy linda la sudafricana este miss universe de veras quedó muy bien, aunque hubiera preferido a la colombiana como 1a finalista despues de S Africa.
Este año si hubo una ganadora hermosa no como la del 1977 (TTobago) quien se le queda reducida en belleza a la sudafricana.
La colombiana, la sueca y la española tres muy hermosas mujers. La sudafricana muy bella pero algo pasadita de peso...pero la gran perdedora fue Miss USA que clase y belleza de mujer.
The most beautiful is the american Judi Anderson of Hawaii, who was crowned by outgoing titleholder Kimberly Tomes of Texas. Anderson was the third woman from Hawaii to win the Miss USA title, and went on to place as 1st runner-up to Margaret Gardiner of South Africa at Miss Universe 1978.
Margaret Gardiner vino de visita a Venezuela invitada al programa Sábado Sensacional durante la entrega del premio Meridiano de Oro. Allí la recibió Amador Bendayán quien le dijo "Qué princesa tan hermosa!!!...tuyo hasta El Tocuyo", a lo que ella le respondió en evidente acento anglosajón "muchas gracias. En la revista Venezuela Farándula apareció de ella un reportaje que titulaba: "La bomba sudafricana"
Miss Universe Pageant contest is the most racist internacional event on Earth, the only one that never vetoed the participation of South Africa during the apartheid.
@GarlandGemini I'm not so sure - she seemed to be making sure the sash was perfectly placed on Margaret... I thought it was quite sweet of her to do so. I tend to think it was Margaret who didn't pay Janelle any attention.
@rogeliomaxwell I think Janelle didn't realize the extent of south Africa's racism, She actually received death threat on one of her tours of South Africa. Its not surprising that Miss South Africa, pulled away from Janelle Kissing her. She probably would have caught some kinda hell for allowing a black person to kiss. Its funny she said in her interview that all people should live in peace South Africa should have been barred from international pageants, because of apartheid, an evil policy.
El momento de la coronación fue uno de los mas bizarros en la historia del Miss Universo!, en esos tiempo Surafrica tenía una ley muy racista donde separaban los blancos y los negros y no convivian juntos! y vease que una negra coronaba a una blanco surafricana que ni un beso se dieron! ¿raro no?
How ironic. Margaret was very attractive, but I think "Miss USA 1978," Judi Andersen, was robbed because she led throughout the contest. Nevertheless, the irony is that the 1st black Miss Universe crowned a woman from a country who's official racial policy was aparthaid at that time. Margaret never expressed any racial animous, and fortunately aparthaid is no more, but one can't help notice the obvious irony.
@yagudicandelo, She is still very beautiful even today, I recently went home to Trinidad and saw her, on the tele, and its amazing how beautiful she still is, and its all based on those fantastic DNA, not plastic surgery or such things, she is a natural beauty. Giselle La Ronde, Miss world 1986 from Trinidad, have also retained her beauty ,She as on the Rachel Maddow show on MSNBC recently and still as lovely as ever.
miss usa La mejor, pero la pregunta q le toco no la ayudo, creo la mas favorecida con la pregunta fue SOUTH AFRICA y gano, pero la mas bella USA !!!!!!
MAS FEA ES LA VAGINA DE LA MADRE de DIXON PPP. La triple P significa que todas son unas PUTAS en tu familia!!! ja Ja Ja Ja Ja ya veras que uno de tus hijos, o alguien de tu apestosa familia termina empatandose con un NEGRO,
No respondere a tu sucio comentario, esta es una herramienta para opinar y eso fue lo q hice, si t molesto mi comentario refierete a mi, no a mi familia, yo con la tuya no me meto. No tengo nada en contra d los negros, es mas no soy blanco. Simplemente me parece q la MU del año anterior no es agraciada como para haber ganado. Mis mejores deseos para ti y tu familia. Saludos Cordiales.
I was 8 years old when I watched this pagent. I was so hopeful that Miss USA would win. I thought she was so beautiful and articulate. I'll always remember that beautiful gown.
MARGARET GARDINER This circumstance, together with the fact that she represented South Africa, and that she is the first winner from the African continent led her to exclaim, "I am willing to marry any man that I love," when she was asked if she would marry a man of native African descent.
Miss USA should have won!

Isn't it funny that a miss from a racist country at the time, South Africa, was crowned - without kissesand huges, obvious - by a black woman?
