"Dark-Haired Miss Universe: Little Girl From a Big Island"

This was the headline in the MIAMI HERALD 30 years ago, when Gloria Diaz of the Philippines was crowned the 18th Miss Universe.

Did you know that Gloria charmed - and disarmed - the audience and host Bob Barker, when during the on-stage interview competition, she quickly named her nine brothers and sisters?

To celebrate Gloria's 30th anniversary, here is a picture of her in her national costume. Gloria also gives us the occasion to mark Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage month here in the U.S.A.


Beauty School wishes to thank its Esteemed Benefactor for sharing this wonderful photo of Gloria with us.
