9 Celebrities You Didn't Know Got Their Start As Beauty Queens
There is no clear path to the top for a celebrity, every celebrity,in Hollywood had to start somewhere. Some make it on the runway by performing in commercials, appearing on reality TV, or knowing someone in the industry, while yet others begin as beauty pageant queens.
In fact, quite a few famous faces in Hollywood got their start on the pageant circuit. Among those marquee names: Oscar winner Halle Berry, who competed in a number of pageants in her home state of Ohio as a teen and young woman before landing her very first movie role, in Spike Lee’s 1991 film Jungle Fever. Among the titles she won before her big break, she has crowned Miss Ohio in 1986.
All of these celebrities have made their mark on the beauty pageant circuit, which might have given them the advantage to become as successful as they are today. Discover who won the crown and what they've been up to since (and while you're at it, you might want to learn more about the lives of other renowned faces, such as Oprah Winfrey, Vanessa Williams, and Halle Berry!)
She went on to say, "I was quite mischievous. I wasn't behaving properly. I'm a really good person, but I was terrified of winning again because I didn't want to win the Miss Israel pageant and then I won, so I thought, 'Oh no, I don't want them to choose me again!' So I arrived late for all of the rehearsals, and I didn't dress appropriately for breakfast."
