MISS USA 1952
Jacqueleen "Jackie" Loughery

Jacqueline "Jackie" Loughery (born April 18, 1930) is an American actress and beauty queen best known as the first Miss New York USA and winner of the first Miss USA beauty pageant, in Long Beach, California.

In 1952, Loughery won the Miss USA title after a second ballot broke a first-place tie. Loughery, a redhead, went on to represent the USA at the first Miss Universe pageant, where she placed ninth.

Part of her prize package as Miss USA included a contract with Universal Pictures, which led to a career in movies and television. She adopted the stage name Evelyn Avery, but is more often credited with her own name (the name she used when she won the Miss USA title).

She was married to singer Guy Mitchell in October 1953. That marriage ended and she remarried, to actor Jack Webb, in July 1958. (A 1964 newspaper brief reported that Loughery and Webb were wed June 24, 1958 in Studio City.) She divorced Webb in March 1964.
