America Trivia: Mrs. America owes much of its present day popularity to its rich history and tradition. The pageant dates its origin to the year 1938, when the first Mrs. America competition was held at Palisades Amusement Park in New Jersey. For the next thirty years, Mrs. America devoted itself to a national search for the ideal homemaker, and became an American institution. The original contest was not considered a beauty pageant but a competition of homemaking skills, including table setting, arrangements, laundry, bed making and cooking, as well as managing the family budget, personality, hairstyle, make-up and formal dress. The pageant was discontinued after 1968, during a period when the theme of wife and homemaker was subject to changing social mores. But in 1977, after an absence of nearly a decade, the pageant was revived under a new and more modern format. The man responsible for the renaissance of Mrs. America was David Marmel, an independent television producer.TO ADD OR UPDATE CONTENT TO TFTJ, use the Submission Forms. |
