Denise Perrier
FRANCE
Denise Perrier of France was an ordinary convent schoolgirl prior to being thrust into the limelight as Miss World. When she competed against 14 other contestants, she wore make-up for the first time in her life. Her natural charm and élan won over the judges. Controversy arose when, runner-up Marina Papaelia of Egypt collapsed in a screaming fit as Denise was proclaimed Miss World. Marina recovered and continued to participate in the subsequent news interviews and photo sessions. It was said that Marina commented to a news reporter later, "I theenk she steenk!". Elizabeth Chovinsky, the 4th runner-up, was the only woman from Monaco ever to be a finalist in a major international beauty pageant
