Carole Joan Crawford (13 February 1943 – 18 December 2024) was a Jamaican of Afro-European heritage, model and beauty queen who was crowned Miss World 1963,[1] she was also the first winning delegate from both Jamaica and the Caribbean to have won Miss World.
[citation needed] During the beauty competition, which was held in London, Crawford wore a specially designed swimsuit with a high neckline so that she would appear taller.
The Government had issued millions of commemorative stamps with my picture in my swimsuit on it.
In honor of her winning the Miss World title, the Jamaica Post issued a series of stamps imprinted with an image of Crawford wearing a swimsuit.
