I read somewhere that Joanne was really close with Miss Venezuela that year and she told Joanne that she was preggy during the duration of the pageant? Is this any truth to this?

i think margie moran wore a filipiniana costume too... but that was because MU was held in Manila, and Madame Imelda Marcos told her to wear the national costume like the hosts and judges....

Who cares! She is beautiful, regardless! Geez---she loves food. She does not look abnormal. Since when does a body look normal and abnormal? One of your legs is bigger than the other, same with your breasts, and your eyes, ears, arms, etc...ALL of us are abnormal then. lol
