Many Latter-day Saint beauty pageant participants become ambassadors for the church by providing examples of gospel living. The following are five past and present 'Miss'ionary Utahns, including a BYU student who recently returned from the Miss America pageant, and another LDS woman who will compete in the Miss USA pageant this month. Sharlene Wells Hawkes, who graduated from BYU in communications, was Miss America 1985. She said she was asked about the church every day during her reign. "Most of the time, the young women don't understand they're representing more than themselves," she said. "The ones who do the best are those who understand their beliefs and who they are." One such young woman is BYU senior Katie Millar, who placed in the top 10 of this year's Miss America pageant, conducted recently in Las Vegas. Millar was the only girl in the competition to wear a conservative one-piece bathing suit. |
