I yearn eagerly for the pageants of years ago.

Tennessee not placing that year is crazy. She was amazing

Classic television! I watched to see Mary Lee Jepsen's flaming baton-twirling routine that I heard about in "Five Things You Didn’t Know About the Miss America Pageant" interviewing Amy Argetsinger about her book. 👍

Fantastic slice of late 80s American life 🇬🇧👍Love the singing at The start from The Film 🎥 Dirty Dancing 🎉

My whole family waited every year for Miss America more than any other show.

I love watching the videos of old pageants. I watched this one as I have every since 1965.

I watched in 1976 and have every year since 1965.

Are their pictures or videos of the Miss Ohio parade from this year ??

Wow! Miss Tennessee was dynamic in her talent. That was awesome!

When women still looked unique, natural and beautiful. Beautiful heartwarming speech by Mr Tony Danza. 💜

Miss Ohio had the bounciest hair. :o)

I was a sophomore in HS

If you had told me that 1) Illinois was going to win talent and 2) she would be on Broadway with that voice…I would have never believed it.

OMG!! The gymnast that enters at 59:18 is ME!! I was 9/10 years old at the time. I was approached by Riley's Dance Company to come perform with them for the multi-night pageant. (I was a student at their dance studio in Irving, TX). What FUN that was!!

HISTORIC. One African American woman crowns another back-to-back.

I still don't understand why they didn't break 3rd RU tie and still feel even though they didn't Ohio should have been called out as 1st RU

28 years ago in 2024

Why do these contestants look much older than what there are- actually most o Miss America contestants did- was it the make up?

Wow what a let down. For years…before she got to Miss America everyone raved about Crystal Lewis, so I was expecting the mind blowing, life altering vocal… What a let down. I don’t know how she won talent. There were at least 7 better

I don’t know how the heck Florida didn’t win talent!

My cousin James L. Crow was Debra Dene Barnes manager. I was only 4 years old when she won and I remember Jim just was on cloud 9!! He made many people famous and it all started with Debra who was a natural in every way. She was from near my hometown and my cousin saw talents in her that he knew were Miss America worthy! This was 50 years ago today. My cousin Jim died 5 days ago and just missed the 50 year anniversary of their huge win! I am so sad he is gone as he made so many people stars!

Later that year ib December Dorothy Benham and Phyllis George would be together again on the NFL Today before a Vikings playoff game in Bloomington

Ohio"s last Miss America winner and we need another one! I believe Ohio and California have the most winners!

I remember Suzanne Lawrence...RIP

I haven't missed a pageant since 1965. Sadly I admit the pageants of years ago were far superior to those of today. I miss the tradition, music, suspense, production numbers.

How I miss the pageants of years ago. They were majestic spectacles. Music, production numbers, runway. The suspense, glory and thrill of it all.

Tap dance talents at 1:02:37 and 1:08:57

Was, is and always will be my favorite event. I just wish the pageants of today were like those of years ago.

Debbie Bryant's victory was almost preordained. In 1965 Time Magazine decided to do a story on the typical Miss America contestant. They chose Miss Kansas because Kansas is in the Midwest and so very ordinary and American. Well they followed Miss Kansas Debbie Bryant throughout the two weeks. It is interesting that Kansas was the last one to arrive at Atlantic City. For some reason the judges actually greeted her. Debbie said: "It's a good thing you are meeting me now. You're going to get to know me anyway after I win this thing." And of course, she won. Debbie wore a yellow swimsuit and yellow swimsuits became more popular than ever after that. Debbie was the most popular Miss America because of her beauty, smarts and that Time Magazine story. There are quite a few of us baby boomers who remember this.

I love those 1960s bouffant flip hairdos. I hope they come back into style.

I haven't missed a pageant since 1965

Miss New York should have been in the top 5 at least.

I haven't missed a pageant since 1965.

The format on the final telecast was so unfair because only the top 2 performed their talent on the live broadcast. Miss North Carolina finished in 3rd place (2nd RU), so she didn't get to perform live. If she had be able to perform live, I truly believe she would've won the whole pageant. Her talent was remarkable!!

The beginning of the end....She RUINED the Miss America Pageant.

It is absolutely amazing to see how this pageant has gone down so badly over the last twenty years. Look at the size of this crowd in atlantic city twenty three years ago and look at what they're putting out now. They are lucky to get 1500 to 2000 people in the arena. To give you an idea in 1987. Miss Louisiana Patricia Brant was first run around, and she received $17,000 scholarship from the Miss America Foundation. In today's money, that is nearly $50,000. And yet the top 5 finalists receive only $10,000 today, and the winner gets $60,000. Like everything these days miss america went woke and politically correct and it cost them everything. They say if you want to know If an entity is successful look at their money... I missed today's win.These pageant girls didn't walk around like whores with their hands on their hips.

9:17 Cullen Johnson's first try before winning Miss Virginia 1994 and becoming 1st runner-up to Miss America Heather Whitestone.

This was a really weak group. Did anybody hear present any real challenge for jeriy? We can call most of them five of tens. Quite a few of them actually looked like somebody's mom.

I wonder how many SE Moore gowns were worn?

I know Dawn Wells was some sort of Miss Something?🤔idf anyone knows ✌

Did someone release the balloons too early?
