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

1960: Miss USA, Linda Bement

Miss Universe in 1960 had a little Utah sparkle, thanks to Linda Bement. She repped the U.S. with grace, but behind the tiara, she was a true outdoorsy girl—born in Salt Lake City and totally into skiing. She became the wife of famed race car driver Brooks “Tiger” T. Ellis and had two children before they split. Her pageant reign was all class, with zero drama, but fans loved her grounded vibe.

Linda eventually stepped out of the limelight and lived a quieter life in Nevada. In 2018, she passed away at age 76, but she’s still remembered for her elegance, adventurous spirit, and all-American charm.
