Miss World 1987
- an amalgam
of news reports -
Ulla Weigerstorfer, a veterinary student from Vienna, Austria, was crowned
Miss World in the 37th annual contest beauty pageant. She said it was all
like a dream.
The 5-foot-11, blue-eyed blonde, the first Austrian to win the title since
1969, was chosen from among 78 contestants.
“I didn’t think I would win,” Miss Weigerstorfer said after she was crowned
in the 37th annual pageant in London.
“I feel there were 78 Miss Worlds here.”
The 20-year-old student and part-time model showed no signs of tears and
smiled broadly as she walked down the runway wearing a black and purple
flamenco-style dress and holding the Miss World scepter.
“I’m so happy, I couldn’t say,” she told reporters after the pageant at the
Royal Albert Hall before an audience of 8,000. An estimated 500 million
television viewers in 50 countries watched the 90-minute show.
Miss Weigerstorfer was not favored by bookmakers.
The favorite going into the contest, Venezuela’s Albani Lozada Jimenez, was
first runner up and Anna Margret Jonsdottir of Iceland was second runner up.
Miss Weigerstorfer also was named winner of the Queen of Beauty trophy for
Europe, one of the five continental prizes.
Miss Venezuela,
a 22-year-old television interviewer from Caracas,
was named winner for the Americas.
The other Queens of Beauty were: Miss Nigeria, Mary Ngozi Biendseh, 19, for Africa; Miss Hong Kong, Pauline Lo Ling
Yeung, 20, for
Asia; and Miss Guam, Francel Caracol, 24, for Oceania.
Miss Austria
was chosen from six finalists. In addition to Miss Venezuela and Miss
Iceland, they were Miss Poland, Monika Nowadasko Ewa, 23; Miss Argentina,
Katerina Ciscato, 17; and Miss Colombia,
Claudia Escobar Zapata, 21.
The overall winner gets $8,800 and a $44,000 yearlong contract to promote
clothes and beauty products worldwide. |
