United Kingdom by Eric Morley in 1951.
The current Miss World is Taťána Kuchařová of the Czech Republic.

The first modern American pageant was staged by P. T. Barnum in 1854, but his
beauty contest was closed down by public protest—he previously held dog, baby,
and bird beauty contests. He substituted daguerreotypes for judging, a practice
quickly adopted by newspapers. Newspapers held photo beauty contests for many
decades: In 1880, the first “Bathing Beauty Pageant" took place as part of a
summer festival to promote business in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Contests became
a regular part of summer beach life, with the most elaborate contest taking
place in Atlantic City, New Jersey, where the “Fall Frolic” attracted women
from many cities and towns in competition for the title of "Miss America." The
modern beauty pageant's origin is traceable to the Miss America pageant, which
was first held in Atlantic City in 1921, under the title "Inter-City Beauty
Contest." During the 1950s, pageants thrived to promote county fairs and local
products. For example, some of Raquel Welch's titles included "Miss Photogenic"
and "Miss Contour." The "Miss America" pageant eventually included preliminary
eliminations, an evening gown competition, musical variety shows, and judging by
panel. Still, the contest was shunned by middle-class society. Pageants did not
become respectable until World War II, when "beauty queens" were recruited to
sell bonds and to entertain troops. Scholarships and talent competitions evoked
even closer scrutiny of contestants’ morals and backgrounds. The following
year, the title was renamed "Miss America." Other contests include the yearly
Miss World competition (founded by Eric Morley in 1951), Miss Universe (founded
in 1952), Miss International and Miss Earth (founded in 2001 with environmental
awareness as its concern). These are considered the Big Four pageants, the four
largest and most famous international beauty contests]]. Minor contests, such as
the Miss Bondi contest in Australia, are common throughout the world in the
summer months. Across the world, women from around the world participate each
year in local competitions for the chance to represent their country's
international title. The organizers of the major beauty contests represent their
contests as being events of world importance. A more common view is that beauty
contests are simply titillating entertainment events of no great importance.
Hope that helps

| Date: 2007-03-06 09:59 You must be referring to Hera, Aphrodite and Athena, of which Aphrodite was
declared the winner. However, Helen was then proclaimed the most beautiful
MORTAL woman in the world. So that was where I was going.
And it is located in Hisarlik, within Turkey. |
