And she almost died off radar. It wasn't until her local press reported on it more than a week later that led to a stream of subsequent bigger obits. Strange how these things play out. No certainties in deadpooling I suppose. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DevonDeathTrip 2,366 Posted March 28, 2022 I would like to suggest Miss Wyoming World 1973, Joyce McKinney, just because she hasn't been mentioned before. McKinney was accused of kidnapping a missionary, driving him to Devon and keeping him as a sex slave, resulting in the infamous 'manacled Mormon' case which kept the British press happily occupied in 1977. Since then, she has occasionally made the news again; for cloning her deceased pitbull in South Korea, aiding and abetting a teenager to commit a burglary to raise funds to buy an artificial leg for her horse, before more recently being arrested for vehicular homicide after allegedly running over a holocaust survivor. 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, yes, her!! I remember the trial, it was all over the press and TV. Something about skiing naked down a slope with a rose between her teeth, IIRC.

Gisooo 3,475 Posted July 18, 2022 American model and actress Kathy Marlowe (IMDb) dead at 87 She was also teaching modeling and getting noticed as an ideal figure model perfectly representing the 1950's style of the sexy young American blonde girl next door. Over the next five years, Marlowe would be featured in thousands of ad layouts and would be named countless times as "Miss" this and that. It was serious public relations business of the day. Among her credits, far too many to mention all, are "Miss Long White Potato", "Miss Traveling Saleslady", "Miss Chinchilla", "Miss Green Stamps", and "Miss Lawn Seed" Marlowe took her place in the line up of "50's blondes" including Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Mamie Van Doren and others in the Hollywood history books. As an actress she appeared in films and sitcoms like: The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show, Mr. Lucky, The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, Girl with an Itch, Queen of Outer Space, The Phenix City Story etc. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they hoiked her butt all the way to her tonsils then - to be fair - she did well to hang in there for two and half months. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,237 Posted December 9, 2022 Perhaps the thread title could be expanded to include models, as "beauty queens" is rather narrow. I see Linda Evangelista has been mentioned here too. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
