Other notes

Marjorie Wallace became the first Miss USA to be crowned Miss World. The United States' representative had previously finished as first runner-up on five occasions, in 1954, 1955, 1956, 1965, and 1969. Wallace would also become the first winner not to complete her reign when she was fired[1] in March 1974, because she had "failed to fulfill the basic requirements of the job". She was never officially replaced by any of her runners-up.[7]
