During Miss Chandi's master class, she pointed out that there was a Miss Universe Pageant back in the 1920's and 1930's. We feature a photo here from the 1930 pageant won by Dorothy Goff Dell of New Orleans. She would go on to star on Broadway in the Ziegfield Follies and then Hollywood came a calling. She appeared in four films before dying tragically in an auto accident in 1934. We're not sure if this photo represents the semi-finalists or if this was the total number of contestants.
