Let’s go by decade and find who we think is the prettiest Miss America, and then pit all the winners of each decade against each other and find out who iOTWreport thinks is the prettiest Miss America of all-time.
First up- the 1970s
Thumb up the girl you think is prettiest in the comments. We’ll close this one at 3pm et tomorrow.
1970
1971
1972
1973
1974
1975
1976
1977
1978
1979
I’m going with miss 1977. I must have missed that year (that was the year lapd tried to break their night sticks on my head). (my ears are still ringing).
1977. Yes. Not even close.
1971 and 1975 look like friend’s moms who were sorta attractive (today the kids call them MILFS)
I would like to submit a write-in vote for Miss America 1933.

Things were seriously effed up in the 70s.
What other decade could produce Margot Kidder and Karen Allen as leading ladies?q
Wow! How styles have changed. Might be interesting/scary to see the ones that didn’t win.
Just because you’re in Hell doesn’t mean you need to drag the rest of us with you.
Damn! What kind of eye bleach do you use down there FDR?
lol
71, 75, 77, and something about 79.. Is this an exercise in not voting the left column?
1970 – 1979 ALL OF THEM! Duh!
Frankie, you lied back in 1933 when you said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” Obviously, you weren’t in Atlantic City when you made that speech. Aaargh!.
Yikes!
Meth-amphetamine was legal back then, right?
Soon after, Hitler was using it too, no?
Miss 1976 looks like she just won Librarian of the Year.
There was a lot of bulimia and anorexia going around in 1978. Just look at her, bless her heart.
I vote for whoever was Miss America when this song came out –

.
1971 has a great photo. She looks gorgeous, approachable and genuine. Be still my heart.
1973 Has me wondering if Howdy Doody was her father.
I submit a write-in vote for best comment by FDR in Hell. Now where’s Eleanor on best Mr. America or was she into women, I forget?
I voted for 1977 but not too impressed by any of them. 🙄
Does 1970 remind anyone else of a young Trisha Nixon Cox?
I saw them when that album was out. My GF wanted to see them.
In a Jr High gym with about 75 other people in Wisconsin. Shit, there were more people seeing bar bands in the area. Maybe would’ve had a bigger crowd if they served alcohol.
It was a bit embarrassing, “Lady” was more appreciated by the small crowd than anything on Grand Illusion.
I think they were over played on the radio back then. A small step above the barf inducing Rush 2112, though.
Miss 1973 is the co-host on CBN’s 700 Club, Terry Meeuwsen.
1971 is Phyllis George.
Dang it anyway Chief. I didn’t know what a MILFS was so I looked it up. All ads for sex with them and I still don’t know what they letters stand for.
1977 is an excellent vintage
MILFS…Miss Landers faulty shoes…that’s what the beaver said….
MILFS…mothers in law for science
LOL.
I kinda remember Bo Dereck…she was OK…
who knew that Trisha Nixon had a Cox…..sorry, very old joke….I couldn’t resist…
1970, sweet!
The fix was in on this one.
Rocky for the win.
1975 classic beauty
77, heck they’re all beautiful.
Miss 1976 is from Yonkers, a graduate of Roosevelt High School, and probably Fur ‘ s ex-girlfriend.
1975
Oh no you did not just link that F.D.R. in Hell. LOL!
BigFurHat. Is there any way I can get notifications in my inbox whenever F.D.R. or Eleanor posts on your site? I never want to miss a comment of theirs! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
“Peter Burns.” LOL!!!!
MILF
Mom
I‘d
Like to
uhhh
Fool around with!
Yeah, That’s what the F stands for!
That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it.
75, with 72 a close 2ed
1979: Miss Stewardess. Really friendly-looking.
What, no picture of Hillary? I went with 1977.
She looked better on the radio…
I wood.
1978
All the girls are attractive, none of them are anything special.
Dam she hot. Where she stays?
1979 I think may be the prettiest.
1973 looks wholesome
You and I must have the same tastes
1970 is definitely the prettiest 1975 is a close second.
I choose the one with the biggest juggs, just like how I always choose my women…
77, same year as my typhoon. Can we get swimsuit pics?
I heard she’s had several.
I’ll wait for Miss 1983. Now where’d I put that copy of, “Penthouse?”
1974 classic beauty
Miss America has always been too perfect for me – as Steve Martin said in My Blue Heaven – “Ehh, she’s not my type. I like ’em… I dunno, kinda dirty or something.”
I could vote for 1983 winner Vanessa Williams though.
’77, straight from heaven
I changed my mind, 1975
Saucy, saucy ’75
That would’ve been my pick (’75) – she looked like she might have prurient potential – there’s a hint of feline predator in the eyes.
76 was married to john schneider from dukes of hazzard.
she was on a local news station for a bit. tawny little.
She’d get a lot more votes if she let her hair down. Not a very good picture of her.

1974
She kinda reminds me of Marcy from “Married With Children”. Just a bit. (Yeah, I know – IRL Marcy’s a lesbian. Still doable, though.)
😉
I voted for 1976 because she was the only one who looked like she had any color in her cheeks…
; }
Nice to see a few others choose 1974. That’s classical beauty.
1979 definitely looks MILF.
No fair! Google Miss America 1976 and check out other pictures. She’s really cute!
“Thumbing up….?” I see what you did there.
