Jacque Mercer (1931–2 February 1982) from Litchfield, Arizona, was Miss America in 1949. She is mentioned (usually by title, once by name) several times in the 1997 Philip Roth novel, American Pastoral. She was married and divorced during her reign as Miss America; after this, a rule was enacted which requires Miss America contestants to sign a pledge vowing they have never been married or pregnant. ^[1]
