Miss U.S.A. after her disqualification.
Leona Gage of Maryland was discovered to be a married mother of two young
sons.
The Miss U.S.A. 1st runner-up, Charlotte Sheffield of Utah, took over the
title, but it was too late for her to compete in the Miss Universe finals.
She was sent to the Miss World pageant in London later in the year. |
