One of my top 3 Miss America's ever. Big fan of Lee Meriweather and Phyllis George too.
She had the whole thing won before the show even began
The most deserving win in the history of Miss America. Someone said she is solid gold, well I can tell you she has a heart of gold. A wonderful human being.
Kathy Lee looked really good this year…
One of the very best Miss America's ever.
Virginia should have won..
The crowning of Heather Whitestone changed the Miss America pageant forever. I don't think some people realize how difficult it was for her to navigate the process as a hearing impaired person. So much of the process is about communication and when you can't hear there is an improved chance that you'll misinterpret something and answer awkwardly or incorrectly. She was a wonderful Miss America and is an amazing representative of the Miss America organization.
Jennifer (Miss New Jersey) later participated in Miss USA 1997, she placed in the top 10
Heather showed that ANYTHING could be possible and that with determination, that no matter if you had a 'challenge' or you were healthy-YOU COULD and YOU MATTERED! Thanks to Heather and Kaye Lani- I returned to pageantry after my time in the military, as a wounded warrior and am working to help other find 'Their Heart's Justice'.
#missamerica1995! What a year! Happy 25th Anniversary to you Heather!

HEATHER! ARE YOU WIPING AWAY CULLEN’S TEARS?!
What a memorable night for her, very pleasant to watch!!!!
I’ve met her and both of her sons
ไม่สวยเลย
Heather Whitestone!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What's up with miss Indiana's teeth ? Lord have mercy lol.
Well I don't know about you, but simply from a "beauty" perspective, Miss Virginia was miles and miles ahead of the rest…
deport her. she could be illegally deaf.
Nobody deserved it more than she did.
she is one of the greatest…that night she was perfection!
Her ballet performance was awesome
She was and still is nothing short of amazing! Such a beautiful lady all around.
I remember watching this when i was a kid. The whole state of Alabama was so proud… and there was not a dry eye in the state that night. 🙂
One of my very favorite Miss America's ever.
She is the most amazing person. Wow! The ballet performance she did was spectacular! The look of total shock on her face was priceless! What a gem!
Miss Virginia was rude to Heather and complained Heather only won because she was deaf.
I watched this with my hearing -impaired husband and young daughter…. when she won, I just cried and cried and cried! She opened the door wider for the hearing-impaired and deaf to have more opportunities… I will never forget it….
i remember being about 10 when i watched this and crying i was so glad she won.
Still wonder how Tiffany Storm made the final 5 ugly as she is…but then the pageant started become political at this point as Heather Whitestone one when the more talented Cullen Johnson (what infinitely more beautiful) was only 1st runner up. But then, Heather did have the sympathy vote! Rebecca Blouen, Miss Mississippi did blow them out of the water, but in a smooth political more, she had to follow Heather!
Bert Parks couldn't throughout the Pageant conceal his admiration for Heather.
one hot chick crowning another hot chick.
Back when Miss Americas had CLASS and talent! Those lovely days were beautiful! Love those days then MUCH better than now!
Guys i am a dancer and she came and i met heather whitestone
SIster please! Cullen Johnson is way UTRA-PLUS!
I wonder if Miss New Jersey ended up abducting any children.
Really, that's nice. Heather's parents raised Heather really well. A lot of confidence and personality. Putting her in dance classes was the best they did for her. It made her think. I know because I have studied dance for many years. It takes a lot of concentration and discipline. Putting Heather in dance class also helped her grow to what she later became, a great success. There is nothing more than to have family and faith in God instilled in a child, so later on they can become successful!
A classier time….
Her face when she found out 🙂 that was too precious
OMG really
hmm…..you make a good point. There has always been evil in the world, I guess I just seem to like to remember the good things about the 90's and try to forget the bad.
But I humbly acknowledge what you said and admit that I wasn't exactly right.
WOW!!! I remember WELL, Miss Whitestone, WINNING that, in 1995!
Time has Flown by sooo Quickly! I would have Guessed 2000 or later!
I never Forgot her, & I was hoping to see, what became of her!
