Carole Joan Crawford (born 1943) won the 1963 Miss World contest, representing Jamaica. At age 20, the 5'3" (1.59 m) beauty - short by Miss World standards - made history by becoming the first delegate from her country to win the title. [1] The pageant was held in London, United Kingdom. She was from Kingston. She had been selected to represent her country in the competition after having won the first official Miss Jamaica World title. She wore a specially designed swimsuit with a high neck in the Miss World final in order to look taller.[2]
Jamaica Post issued a stamp of her face in honour of Crawford winning the Miss World title, which had an issue of three million stamps. She later moved to Canada and married.[3]
