I just thought about Amanda Jones and had to look her up. I was 3 years old when she won Miss USA. I always knew her name because the day of the pageant, my mother and I adopted a female kitten from a place in Strongsville, Ohio. My mother said we would name her after whomever won the pageant that night. So my cat was named Amanda Jones. I had Amanda Jones for about 13 years till she passed away. This is the first time I actually got to see the real Amanda Jones. Thanks internet!

Knowing the backstory about Amanda Jones makes her onstage demeanor even more humorous.

I remember watching this with my best friend. This is the only Miss USA I remember and the only one that ever seemed like a cool person and not a cookie cutter pageant doll.

She is much better than Miss USA 72 and 74 for sure. I think her placement in Miss Universe was well-deserved too. Im a fan

Gorgeous! I like her! I read her essay about beauty queens in American Dreams by Terkel. :)

Actually, she was a real anti-beauty queen and didn’t even like these pageants or beauty contests. She was very intelligent, ironic and critical about the whole beauty universe and considered herself rather ugly and awkward. When she made her farewell walk the next year, she rubbed her nose – like in the movie The Sting - indicating that it was all a con. Afterwards, she jumped off the stage and walked out. An very interesting article is written about her under the pseudonym Emma Knight.

omg/watch at 3:57 when she tells how she entered the contest...her tone and phrasing of words are REALLY like natalie doing a job acting the part ! ! !

yeah, that's right!
This woman is knock down drag out hilarious! She was selected because of her frank, anti-establishment candor. God, it's refreshing. I remember seeing this when I was a kid.
