The first contest «Miss America» was held on September 7-8, 1921, in Atlantic city.
After 1951 winner Yolande Betbeze refused to pose for the cameras in a swimsuit, saying that «appearance is not the main component of beauty», the event has become more a contest of intelligence and charisma, than external charms.
Currently, the competition is headed by 3 women, who at one time became the owner of the title «Miss America»: Regina Hopper (1983), Marjorie Vincent-Tripp (1991) and the already mentioned Gretchen Carlson (1989).
