The Resume

(August 18, 1905-October 15, 1996)
Born in Washington D.C., District of Columbia
First ever Miss America (1921)

Why she might be annoying:

They only gave her the Miss America title because they already had a Miss Washington D.C., the district where she was from.
After she won Miss America, she continued to compete unsuccessfully.
She spent the rest of her life being bitter towards the Miss America competition because they never reimbursed her travelling expenses for a reunion.

Why she might not be annoying:

She strutted in a swimsuit despite an Atlantic City law outlawing bare limbs.
She remained happily married to the same man until his death in 1957.
She was the first woman to become something many girls would dream of becoming for years to come.
