  • The title of this clip is incorrect.

    This is in fact the "Miss America 1965" contest, (although the contest was held on 12 September 1964).

    "Vonda K Van Dyke" should read Vonda Kay Von Dyke.

    Seen at 00:21 is Miss Arkansas, Karen Carlson, later to marry (and divorce) the actor David Soul.

    Seen at 00:37 is Miss West Virginia, Ella Dee Kessel.

    The man exuberantly announcing the result at 00:56 is host Bert Parks.

    At 01:05 the winner is crowned by the previous winner, MIss America 1964, Donna Axum.

British Pathe captured many extraordinary events on film over its 80 year history but sometimes the cameras were switched on when tragedy struck.
