Background

104 days after her reign, Marjorie Wallace, was dethroned from her title. The Miss World 1973 title was not offered to any of the other participants. The Miss World organizers offered 1st runner-up Evangeline Pascual of the Philippines the duties but not the title. However, Pascual turned down the offer because she already have commitments in being an actress in the Philippines at the time.[4] Patsy Yuen of Jamaica, who placed 2nd Runner-Up performed some of the duties and responsibilities of Miss World that had already been scheduled, without holding the title.

Other notes

  • Marjorie Wallace became the first Miss United States to be crowned Miss World. The United States' representative had previously finished as first runner-up on five occasions, in 1954, 1955, 1956, 1965, and 1969. Wallace would also become the first winner not to complete her reign when she was fired[1] in March 1974, because she had "failed to fulfill the basic requirements of the job".[10] The title was never offered to any of the runner-ups. Instead the remaining scheduled duties were handled by third placed Miss Jamaica. Marjorie was never officially replaced by any of the runners up.
