I began watching the next year, 1965. Haven't missed a pageant since.

IMO Karen Carlson, Miss Arkansas was the prettiest. She went on to have some success in tv/movies. Played Robert Redford's wife in The Candidate and portrayed an attorney *recurring character on The Heat of the Night on tv. I did not know her but she was in my high school graduating class.

The Bible, the American flag, and a cow .. I’ve literally seen politicians campaign with all three at once. Must mean they’re the most qualified. 🧐
