Miss Connecticut USA

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Miss Connecticut USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of Connecticut in the Miss USA pageant. This pageant is directed by Crown Productions, who took over the pageant in 2003.

Despite a number of semi-finals placements in the 1960s, Connecticut is overall one of the least successful states at Miss USA. From 1969 until 2002, not one Miss Connecticut USA had placed at the national competition. This spell was broken by Alita Dawson, who placed 4th runner-up. Dawson was one of three former Miss Connecticut Teen USAs to win the Miss crown (although a former Miss Wisconsin Teen USA also won this competition).

  • First runners-up: Diana Zabicki (1962), Pat Denne (1966)
  • Fourth runner-up: Alita Dawson (2002)
  • Top 15: Andrea Todd (1954), Joyce Trautwig (1960), Florence Mayette (1961), Janice Shilinsky (1968), Elizabeth Wanderman (1969)
