Nov 7, 1963 - London, England, United Kingdom - Miss Jamaica CAROLE JOAN CRAWFORD sits on the throne after being crowned Miss World at the Lyceum. At age 20, the 53 (1.59 m) beauty, short by Miss World standards, made history by becoming the first delegate from her country to win the title. She wore a specially designed swimsuit with a high neck in the Miss World final in order to look taller. Jamaica Post issued a stamp of her face in honor of Crawford winning the Miss World title, which had an issue of three million stamps. She later moved to Canada and married.
