At the end of the event, Iêda Maria Vargas of Brazil crowned Corinna Tsopei of Greece as Miss Universe 1964. It is the first victory of Greece in the history of the pageant.

Contestants from fifty countries and territories competed in this edition. The pageant was hosted by Jack Linkletter, while Arlene Francis and John Charles Daly served as backstage correspondents.[1][2]

Background

Selection of participants

Contestants from sixty countries and territories were selected to compete in the pageant. One candidate was appointed to represent her country to replace the original dethroned winner.

Replacements

Wendy Barrie was appointed to represent Scotland after the original Miss Scotland, Doreen Swan, withdrew from the competition to marry her fiancé James Alexander Do Watt Nicoll. Swan was subsequently reported missing, and the FBI suspected she had been abducted.[3]

Debuts, returns, and withdrawals

This edition saw the debuts of Aruba, Grenada, Nigeria, and Saint Vincent, and the returns of India who last competed in 1952; Panama who last competed in 1954; Australia who last competed in 1958; Tunisia who last competed in 1960; Chile who last competed in 1961; and England, Hong Kong, Malaysia (as Malaya), and the Republic of China who last competed in 1962. Cuba, Morocco, and Nicaragua withdrew after their respective organizations failed to hold a national competition or appoint a delegate.

Vera Wee of Singapore as Singapore is still part of Malaysia until October 1965, and instead competed at Miss Malaysia 1964 where she finished as a runner-up to Angela Filmer.[4][5] Ulla Donastorg of the United States Virgin Islands was also set to compete, but withdrew for undisclosed reasons.[6]
