1964 "IT WAS A TIME IT WAS..."



In 1964, the "World's Fair" was held in Flushing, New York, just outside of Manhattan. Its iconoclastic "Unisphere" still stands and is looking its age. Dean Di Maggio attended the "World's Fair," where he met Shirley Temple of all people and helped himself to some wicked Belgian waffles at the "Belgian Pavillion." Dean Di Maggio is somewhere in this photo above, can you spot him? What does this have to do with "Beauty School?" Well, as it turns out the Miss World Pageant decided to crown one of its own that year and got revenge for the United States Revolution where the United Kingdom lost its claim to the U.S. of A. None other than Ann Sydney, of Poole, England. nabbed the title at the Miss World Pageant. We suspect she is looking a whole lot better than the tired old "Unisphere."
