Find Out Who Took the Miss Universe Crown the Year You Were Born

1962: Miss Argentina, Norma Nolan

Argentina scored its first-ever Miss Universe win in 1962, and it was all thanks to Norma Nolan. With her polished charm and girl-next-door beauty, she became an instant sensation back home. Fans couldn’t get enough—and neither could the press. She was the first from Argentina to take the crown, which made her a national treasure overnight.

Born to an Irish father and Italian mother, Norma brought a unique blend of heritage to the stage. After her reign, she returned to Argentina and avoided the public eye, marrying Eduardo Prado five years after bagging the crown for the country in the southern half of South America.
