This girl has gone down in history. She became the first black woman to win a prestigious beauty pageant. Janelle Commissiong became Miss Universe 1977. How did her life turn out? And what does she look like today? You will be surprised to see that even after 46 years she is still amazing!

She is the only Black contestant in Miss Universe history to be voted as Miss Photogenic. She was beautiful then and beautiful now. UPDATE: It was mentioned in the comments that Miss Bahamas 1982, Ava Burke won Miss Photogenic as well. After researching it, I discovered it's true! I'm glad that another Black Beauty won the hearts of a panel for her beauty. She was and is definitely beautiful!!! SECOND UPDATE: Someone revealed to me ANOTHER Black Miss Photogenic winner in the Miss Universe pageant by the name of Margaret Hill (Miss Bermuda 1970). Her face was undeniably beautiful! She died in 2019.

When Penny won the Miss Universe competition I was a film cameraman filming her arrival back in Trinidad. My film crew wanted her autograph but we didn’t have any paper so we asked her to sign her name on a piece of 35 mm film. Film is like plastic and writing on it was impossible. But she tried and gave up after a while. I was amazed at how pleasant and easy going she was!

Heck even in America, they didn't have their 1st black beauty pagent winner until 1982 and that was the Miss America pagent. With Miss USA, it happened later in the year 1990.
