OMG !! Real women did exist !!!
Miss new mexico mai shanley winner miss usa 1984 , top ten in miss universe 1984
These were really beautiful contestants.
Maffett, Miss California, who "won" had had her ugly jaw redone, ala Chelsea Clinton, so she could win a pagent. She was NOT the best candidate, Desiree Daniels of Tennessee was. Also, Maffett couldn't get a real gig as a TV personality, so she pretended to be a Christian and got a spot on the PTL club or one of those heretical faux Christian shows. Only problem for her was that she had to cover her bod, which she loved to show off.
I would love to see the full telecast?
Yolanda Fernandez was Miss Alabama back then (at 2:14); she would go on to be a news reporter and anchor on Channel 8 in the Tampa Bay area, and more recently has been spokesperson for the St. Petersburg police department.
I'm from California and happy that my girl won, but Arkansas was the prettiest of them all.
That Miss Tennessee had on enough hairspray to deplete the Ozone layer and That Miss Kentucky–what a Beast! And those 80's pantsuits and hankys they were carrying, whose idea was that??? Debbie Maffet was great though, glad she won!
This telecast was from Saturday, September 11, 1982.
Almost everyone I knew thought that California would win, and that Georgia and Minnesota would place.
Long Live Bert Parks!!!!

It was way less nudity
GA,OK,TN,AK,and AL all drop dead gorgeous girls. It was California that had the banner year with a Miss America and a Miss USA…
Who knew that history would be made the following year?
plus women looked more mature then
i agree with you so many women get the implants and are look the same
Is it just me or did the women seem more real back then. Today they seem so fake.
Yeah, I'm guessing it was to add a splash of color, since they're all wearing white, but they could've tied it around their necks or something. Holding it in the hand is a little weird.
And what's with those goofy scarves? LOL!
Ha! I love it that they are all wearing Pant Suits! That's so classicly 80s!
I would love to see other segments of the pageant. I don't know why only parts of each pageant is available on youtube. I wish I had the entire collection of these past pageants.
I don't know if Monica Hard was seen on the pageant, too. She later became Monica Hart on KIRO-TV in Seattle & had worked from 1986 to 1993. Since then, she hasn't made a return appearance to TV ever since.
they all grin like they were brainless Ö_Ö
but i guess you have to be to take part in such a shitty competition.
yeah kentucky had an interesting look, so matronly, but arizona was not that pretty to me, based on looks, she could have been a great contestant, I dont know how she made it.
Funny, the girls did not act surprised at all…maybe they knew in advance like in the 60's and 70's..
would like to see the Crowing moment of Debbie Maffett
