Crowning. I LOVE how Gary Collins stalls for time. "In my mind, I'm thinking 'What would Bert do?'" hahahaha good footage. (His stalling is even BETTER in 1989.)
p.s. if you ask me, Honey Castro should have won, but eh, what can you do?
@gahx3itsleelahhh my whole family are the akin's. its my moms maiden name and my middle name..i remember when i was little they would tell me, youre cousin was miss america! i was like whoaaa. so, i guess somewhere in there..we could maybe, kinda be related?
@cheryljane Dawn Smith, Miss South Carolina in 86 was in one of those shows along with her family b/c of the murder or her sister back either before or just after the pageant.
@1ddote WHat is wrong with you? You are forgetting how incredibly and heavily weighed the preliminary interview is to this job. SOmeone can win both a talent and swimsuit prelim, but if she can't control herself during the prelim interview, how would it look for the MAO if their winner wasn't articulate or a people person?
@missnph I was hoping to have seen her on stage with the other winners at the 75th anniversary pageant and last yrs 90th...What kept her from coming to it? I do remember her being at the 70th with the other winners. Noone on the Miss America community hall blogspot talk about it or know why. Can you please let us know, and hopefully that will shut peoples ignorant mouths.
Melinda Cumberledge is my teacher (:

"it's a tough decision, adding up those points" was that a slight at the judges?
