REMEMBERING LALAINE BENNETT CIRCA 1963

Lalaine Betea Bennett, the fresh doll faced Miss Philippines of 1963 won the hearts of the Filipino people when she made them experience the first taste of success in an international pageant with her 3rd Runner-up finish at the Miss Universe Contest. She made her mark in the pageant when she delivered her speech in her native tongue instead of in English. (wikipilipinas)

1963 — Miss Philippines Lalaine Betia Bennett, a 19 year-old, 5’9” tall American mestiza from Bayombong, Nueva Viscaya, left Manila on June 29, 1963 for Tokyo and stayed there for a week to fulfill some engagements before proceeding to Honolulu and San Francisco. She was among the first 13 official delegates to arrive in Miami Beach, Florida. Lalaine, who measured an impressive 35-23-36, placed third runner-up to Ieda Maria Vargas of Brazil. She married her official escort in the pageant, Felix Skievasky, a US Naval Officer of Polish-Filipino descent, on Sept. 7, 1964 at the San Marcelino Church in Manila. Felix died in a plane crash in 1973. (Ricardo Lo)
