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

1964: Miss Greece, Corinna Tsopei

Corinna Tsopei had her big Miss Universe moment in 1964, becoming the first Greek woman ever to win the crown. But the real plot twist? A couple of years later, she found herself at an after-party in Miami, dancing with an older gentleman who absolutely crushed it on the dance floor. She didn’t realize until afterward that the smooth stranger was none other than Hollywood legend Fred Astaire.

Corinna moved to Los Angeles and landed small roles in shows like “Lost in Space” and “Daniel Boone.” In 1968, she married Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Zax and eventually became a passionate advocate for leukemia awareness.
