A real Big Ten finish. Like Miss USA 1976 when Minnesota and Michigan were final two.
Miss Ohio was gorgeous! Unlike most of the "delegates" she possessed a sensuous beauty befitting a woman in her twenties. Yeah, she wasn't the most personable "delegate," but I think she was the most genuine. Her attitude said to me; "Yeah this is me. Like me or don't…" And she didn't smile "fakily" nor try to act annoyingly "bubbly"… She behaved and looked like a mature woman, not like some pristine, giddy high school girl…
She didn't do snowmelt, however at Miss Universe later that year. She didn't make the top 5.
Louisiana should have won
miss Louisiana is my mom! so proud of her <3
Ohio must have looked much better in person on stage than on the television…I would have had Louisiana first followed by Hawaii, California, Ohio and Indiana…
@JohnChgo what a confused comentary…just say that the then Miss Usa 1980 won Miss Universe, giving space to her 1st ru to succed as Miss USA 1980.
She was so common… almost ugly… of course she could not believe she won!
How the heck did Ohio win, especially after the final question. Her scores were way to inflated, but the final question should have knocked ohio out of contention.
@caravaggio31 Well it's not that bizarre, she loses the title of Miss USA because the Miss Universe title is one better, however the main reason she loses it, is because both jobs are full time jobs. There are responsibilities, tasks, photo shoots, contracts, sponsors, etc that apply to both positions, and it's impossible to fullfill all the obligations of both jobs at the same time.
Bizarre that Miss USA when turns Miss Universe she looses the title, bizarre and unique in the world hehe
muy linda la vieja
The audience started boo-ing after Louisiana was eliminated. She's beautiful indeed.
Yeah, lol! When "those pictures" surface, the first runner up will be sitting pretty ~ literally.
Yay Bob Barker!!!
Girls were beautiful back then!!
I was born in 1981!!
oh that is so cool!!! was ur mom ever a contestant?
Miss Louisiana represented the U.S. at Miss World 1981, the only time Miss USA second runner-up represented the U.S. in Miss World, when Miss USA was the official license holder for Miss World (1981-1991), from 1982-1991 it was the first runner-up who went.
"And to the first runner-up, you never can tell." I like that 🙂
Thank you for posting this pageant I love the old pageants from the 80's, what a wonderful tribute to women no matter how cheesey our latest generation of pageant contestants thinks. You have no idea what class act pageants are until you've experienced something like this. Thanks Zarly
Jineane was the first runner-up until Shawn Weatherly, Miss USA won Miss Universe, so Jineane had to take her place. Jineane is so pretty and she has such a nice voice!
I wanted Indiana to win!
What a great clip. I contend that Indiana should have won. lol 😉 I love that they had a throne for the outgoing titleholder.
It's pretty easy to tell who the MC is…. You'd have to live in a cave to not know. 🙂
AMEN!
The group over at Trumo Organization should spend a day watching some of these wonderful tapes from the 80's. The girls were displayed is a classy manner. The girls were classy and the pageants were a tribute to femine pulchritude. Did you hear that Donald?
zarly, thank you for another wonderful vintage video. Keep them coming!
i love miss usa like see more of 1981 too
