She then went on to build a career in the local movie industry, starring in films like Red Scorpion 2, Amok and The Red Kebaya, a 2006 production that was directed by her then husband, Oliver Knott.

China Machado, the Shanghai-born supermodel who broke barriers in the fashion industry, died Sunday, Dec. 18, 2016, at a hospital in Brookhaven, New York, according to multiple news sources. She was 87.

Machado – her nickname, China, was pronounced CHEE-na – was the first nonwhite person to appear on the cover of a major U.S. fashion magazine. She broke that barrier in the February 1959 issue of Harper's Bazaar.

Checking how many Miss Americas are still alive...

 

1942 (Jo-Carroll Dennison, aged 93)

1940 (Frances Marie Burke, aged 95)

1937 (Bette Cooper, aged 96)

 

Those are probably the oldest ones.

Meh, half-assed reading will be my downfall. Though I guess the mother is more likely to die, but less obitable.

Moananui Akiwa Manley, the first Māori woman to win Miss New Zealand in 1954, has died aged 82. Additionally, she was the first Kiwi to compete in a Miss Universe competition in 1954. NOTE: The article reporting her death uses the years 1956 and 1957, however this is incorrect.

 

Here is a photo of her at the competition - she's the one collapsed on the floor.

Taylor, 73, of Spring Lake, took over as director of the pageant during June 2006, after Miss Michigan 2006 Angela Corsi was crowned. Taylor then oversaw the crowning of 10 Miss Michigans, one of whom became Miss America.

"She caused a stir when she disappeared for some 24 hours after winning the title.   Evidently overwhelmed by what was expected of her, she insisted upon a much lighter schedule than planned by pageant officials so that she could attend college. This led pageant officials to have future contestants sign agreements as to what was expected of the winner."


Now her obit doesn't even mention she was Miss America?  Talk about a disappearing act.  She sounds a total cunt.

Edit: The same can be said of Burke's obit!  Cunts all around!

They’re only “cunts” if you think the Miss America pageant title is something to be held with high regard, and that snubbing it is somehow insulting.

 

Let’s face it, it means jack shit, and probably meant even less in those days. In fact, they were probably a little embarrassed to be associated with it given the average coke snorting airhead “I want world peace” bimbos that line the stages and create controversies these days.

 

By the contrary, it seems as if they won it, made little financial gain from it, then went into the real world and had respectable careers and raised families. Who could blame them for preferring to focus on that?

No one.  Was talking about the obits.

Damn. I could find no listing of her dying when I researched this at the end of December.

Came across this for future reference:

The American Heart Association is set to hosts its Permian Basin 'Go Red for Women' Luncheon in Odessa this May.  Donna Hartley is set to be featured as keynote speaker during the event.

The annual event aims to raise awareness toward preventable heart health issues, and raise money for the American Heart Association.

Hartley is a former Miss Hawaii and actress who has survived cancer and open-heart surgery.

“I love to do these because, being a heart survivor, I probably had only two weeks to live or I would’ve had a heart attack,” Hartley said. “So I want other people to become aware, so they check their heart before it gets to that crisis stage.”

Hard to imagine the winner of Miss Samoa getting the requisite Obit write ups for most deadpools

Well we're about to find out.  She's deceased.

Hmm...dunno what happened.  ah well.
Looks like I had her name on some short list somewhere, but it was early in the year and I totally forgot about her for 2 years until today. 
Slightly embarrassing -- moreso than the link debacle.
