Miss World 1984
- an amalgam
of news reports -
The new Miss World,
Venezuela’s
Astrid Herrera Irazabal, mingled with royalty at a victory ball while
contest organizers fended off criticism from animal rights groups over her
links to a South American bull-baiting game.
The 21-year-old 5-foot-8 brown-eyed brunette psychology student won the
title and a cash prize of $37,500 from among 72 contestants.
She was feted at a ball where she met Princess Margaret, the princess’
23-year-old bachelor son Viscount Linley, and Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher’s 31-year-old bachelor son Mark.
Miss Herrera was crowned before a television audience estimated at 20
million, who watched the contest live by satellite.
She also was named winner of the Americas Queen of Beauty trophy, one of
five continental prizes first awarded in 1981.
The other continental queens of beauty were: Miss England Vivienne Rooke,
22, for Europe; Nairobi’s Khadifa Adam Ismail, 24, for Africa; Australia’s
Lou-Anne Ronchi, 22, for Oceania, and Israel’s Iris Louk, 18, for Asia.
The contestants were judged on personality in interviews with the
organizers, led by Eric Morley, before walking on stage to be assessed for
looks.
The controversy at the 34th annual beauty pageant arose over Miss
Venezuela’s role as the official pin-up girl in her home city Caracas for
the game “coleos.”
In
the sport, young bulls are chased into a narrow corral by men on horseback
who attempt to roll the bulls onto their backs. The animals are gripped by
the tails to throw them off their feet and sometimes end up with broken
legs, dislocated hips or no tails.
Shortly before the contest at
London’s
Royal Albert Hall, about 30 animal rights activists demonstrated outside.
Their banners included one reading: “Bullfighting Miss Venezuela get out.”
The first runner-up in the pageant was Miss Canada, Connie Fitzpatrick, 20,
a blonde, hazel-eyed student from
Ontario.
Miss Australia,
Lou-Anne Caroline Ronchi, 22, won third place.
Miss United States, sales supervisor Kelly Lea Anderson, 23, of Clarksburg,
W. Va., emerged as a favorite in last-minute betting, and was among the
seven finalists. |
