Sharlene Wells, Miss America

After months of preparation, Sharlene Wells became Miss America. But did you know: Sharlene once thought of herself as an ugly duckling' she dated very little during high school, she loved athletics' she was the first Miss America to travel as a goodwill ambassador outside the United States, and an hour before the swimsuit competition she downed nearly a half pound of fudge? This story paints a picture of the total Sharlene - of a young lady who set her sights on the stars and became an American dream come true.
