This is true. But the Scottish Premier League only existed for 15 years, from the 1998 to 2013. So he is not Scottish First Tier top goalscorer ever. I think it’s Jimmy McGrory.

Armi Kuusela, Finnish-born American model and charity worker, the first ever Miss Universe (1952) and the only to ever have been crowned with the Romanov Imperial Nuptial Crown, 89 today :birthday:

kuusela.thumb.jpg.2b31ce6000b7174d9977f0e1e6b8bd34.jpg

She was born to merchant Aarne Kuusela (1902-1969) and Martta Kyrö (1903-1963) in Muhos in 1934. In May 1952, she won the Suomen Neito beauty pageant and for winning got a box of chocolate, a gold bracelet and two tickets to the US from Pan Am. A month later she left Finland to the US, at the age of 17, getting some more valuable prizes for winning: a cream colored convertible, a diamond watch and seven-year deal with Universal Studios (that she rejected, only appearing in two movies in her life, a Finnish movie "Maailman Kaunein Tyttö" in 1953 and an unmentioned Filipino movie later.)

In 1953 she met and married a rich Filipino businessman Virgilio Hilario, with who she had five children, living with him in the Philippines until his death from a heart attack in 1975. Hilario died only some hours after returning to the Philippines from a quite rare visit to Finland. Three years later, in 1978, she married US diplomat Albert Williams, her current husband. They lived in Spain and Turkey before eventually settling in California. After Hilario's death Kuusela has very rarely visited Finland, most recently in 2014. 

 

Some mentions: 

*Kuusela has been picked in the DDP atleast once - by "Not Gone Yet, But Still Forgotten", in 2013.

* No Finnish reporters were anywhere near California when Kuusela won. Max Jakobson who was the first Finn to report her win was a London correspondant for Uusi Suomi and he heard it from Daily Mail.

*Later on there has been claims that CIA was involved somewhat, as Pan Am's contact person in Finland was Paul Suni who is known to have worked for the CIA.

*Most recently she has been in local news after her son Jussi Hilario died in 2020 from cancer.

*As seen in the image she was crowned by actress Piper Laurie, who's also still alive.
