Now This Was A Scandal


Former Miss USA, Leona Gage, died over the weekend. She was 71. Until she died and the news stories started coming out, I have to admit I had never heard about the scandal that broke out after she won Miss USA.

She won the title in 1957 and the very next day was stripped of the title. It turns out she was 18 and not 21 as she had told the organizers. Further, she had already been married twice. Both of them occurring when she was 14. One was annulled which is why she was able to marry again so quickly. She also had a baby when she was 16.

She did use her fame from the incident to try and make a go at acting. She got off to a good start but soon after she started acting she got hooked on drugs, lost custody of her five kids and tried to kill herself multiple times. I am shocked she managed to live until the age of 71.
