A 25-year-old pre-law graduate from Trinidad and Tobago who cites Audrey Hepburn as her role model was named Miss Universe. Wendy Fitzwilliam, representing her nation of two small islands off the Venezuelan coast, succeeded Brook Mahealani Lee of Hawaii to become the 47th Miss Universe. She won more than $200,000 in cash and prizes. Second place was won by Miss Venezuela, 18-year-old Veruska Ramirez, and third place by Miss Puerto Rico, 23-year-old Joyce Giraud. Fitzwilliam bested 80 other entrants in the pageant, which took place in Honolulu.
