beauty queen

Vietnamese authorities have arrested a beauty queen and social media influencer for consumer fraud after she promoted a counterfeit fibre supplement.

The beauty queen did not campaign to be an MP - she is what is called a specially elected member of parliament - and is now one of just six female MPs in the 69-member National Assembly.

She fought the pressure of waning celebrity, but it was not easy to be a 40-something beauty queen in Hollywood.

On paper, the unsettling drama explored the murky goings-on in the US logging town following the murder of teenage beauty queen Laura Palmer, hauntingly brought to life by Sheryl Lee.

Bryant, who died of cancer last month at the age of 84, first became known as a beauty queen—Miss Oklahoma, and then the second runner-up for Miss America 1959—and a pop singer, crooning the Top 10 hits “Paper Roses” and “In My Little Corner of the World.”
