Beauty Queen, Miss USA

October 10, 2011 - CHARLOTTE SHEFFIELD (born c. 1937 - ) was Miss USA 1957. After winning the Miss Utah USA crown, Sheffield, from Salt Lake City, Utah went on to become Utahs first representative to achieve the title of Miss USA, when Mary Leona Gage was stripped of her title days later during the Miss Universe 1957 competition. Sheffield was not allowed to compete for the Miss Universe crown, as she had already missed the preliminary competition. Sheffield went on to compete at the 1957 Miss World pageant, but failed to place. Charlotte then married Richard Maxfield and had 8 children, four boys and four girls. She was a member of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir for ten years and acted in many plays and movies. Her most recent film was released in 2011 and is titled Stand Strong.
