Charlotte Sheffield

Charlotte Sheffield (September 1, 1936 – April 15, 2016) was an American beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned Miss USA 1957.

A day later, the winner, Mary Leona Gage was stripped of her title when it emerged that she was not only too young to compete (18 years old; the age limit was 21), but was also married with two children.

By the time Gage's deceit was discovered, Sheffield had already missed the preliminary competition.

She was a member of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir for ten years and acted in many plays and movies.

She was most recently seen as a special guest in Las Vegas at the 2011 Miss USA pageant.
