The Miss America organization did her SO dirty. They made a nice ratings ploy years later and apologized, which I understand Ms. Williams agreed to if they would personally apologize to her mother. But clearly they needed her more than she needed them at that point.
OH and All her songs are the jam and I really want to ask her about her time with Rick Fox. That’s an illegally attractive combination.
