Scenes of Miss Universe 1977
Miss Universe 1977 was held in Dominican Republic
where Jenny Commission of Trinidad & Tobago won, also she won
Miss Photogenic award, and here is a graphic report about that.
Despite heavy national costume (20 pounds aprox),
Janelle P. Commission smiles wearing it
Between rehearsal and rehearsal Miss Colombia, Aura María
Mojica, a big favorite until last minute take a sit to rest
Miss Trinidad & Tobago Janelle Commission is talking with Dominican
Republic Tourism Minister in one of the rest during rehearsals
The most waiting moment, seconds later Miss Trinidad & Tobago
would be chosen as Miss Universe 1977, along her the rest of finalists,
Scotland’s Sandra Bell, Colombia’s Aura María
Mojica, Austria’s Eva M. Duringer and Germany’s Marie
Lousie Gassen
Janelle Commission of Trinidad & Tobago is the first black woman
to be chosen Miss Universe, the crowning to her successor in Acapulco
Mexico in 1978 brought controversy when she crowned as Miss Universe
at Margaret Gardiner, Miss South Africa, a white girl coming from
one of most racist countries in the world in those years, South
Africa, and to have been crowned by a black woman was seen as "surreal"
