Subject: Hmmm.....maybe the Miss America winners of the Vietnam war era, early 1970s, contracted a form of agent orange disease. Other than Leanza Cornett (who died of a fall in her kitchen in October 2020) any Miss America died of accidents, shootings, car/vehicle/airplane crashes, or any sort of not sickness deaths?

Actually, it seems that a lot of the contestants involved in the 1970 pageant died very young. That particular class has a very high death rate. Pam Eldred would also be counted among them because she was the reigning queen. I wonder if some health hazard existed that year that lead to them contracting various fatal illnesses over the years? It's a similar situation to that John Wayne movie that shot in Nevada, and years later most everyone involved contracted cancer." on 15:43:06 10/09/25 Thu .

Subject Author Date Actually, Miss America seems to have been rather lucky. Most have lived pretty long lives and died of natural causes. I know of at least one Miss Universe who died in a plane crash. Poor Leanza, freak accident. (NT) No name (164.sub-174-216-1.myvzw.com/174.216.1.164) 21:27:17 10/11/25 Sat That was Hillevi Rombin, Miss Sweden/MU, 1955.

(NT) -- No name, 22:30:52 10/12/25 Sun (111.sub-174-247-2.myvzw.com/174.247.2.111) Sadly, yes.

Are most of the earliest -- 1950s and 1960s Miss Universe winners still alive---and which was the most recent winner to die?, 15:25:15 10/13/25 Mon (syn-047-049-055-214.biz.spectrum.com/47.49.55.214) The USA winners to die were: 1960, Miss Utah; 1967 Miss Alabama/MU, Sylvia Hitchcock, and Miss Texas/MU, Chelsi Smith. Miss Pennsylvania/MUSA, died in 2020. Among other countries Spain 1974 and Puerto Rico 1970 have died.lost (NT) -- There may be more but that's all I can recall., 16:51:28 10/13/25 Mon (ip72-220-130-86.sd.sd.cox.net/72.220.130.86) Linda Bement won Miss Universe, 1960.
