Marjorie Wallace made history in 1973 as the first American Miss World, but her reign was cut short by scandal. Her romance with singer Tom Jones and engagement to racing star Peter Revson—who tragically died in a crash—thrust her into headlines. The Miss World organization stripped her crown, and her relationship with Jones collapsed soon after, leading to a personal spiral. Despite the turmoil, Wallace rebuilt her career in television, becoming a sportscaster and later an Entertainment Tonight co-anchor. Her story remains a cautionary tale of how quickly fame can turn, but also a testament to resilience and reinvention.
