Susan Carol Powell (born March 24, 1959) is an American actress, singer, and television personality.

Powell was born and raised in Elk City, Oklahoma,[1] an 11,000 resident town driven by farming, ranching and oil production.

After her one-year reign, Powell embarked on a singing career, debuting with Seattle Opera in the role of Adele in Die Fledermaus.

Calling her performance the "major surprise of the evening," a reviewer from Opera Canada praised "her sparkling stage personality" and pronounced her technique as "fully up to Adele's coloratura requirements.

In 2002, Powell was recognized by the Oklahoma Hall of Fame as an Ambassador of Good Will from the state for the second time, the first such recognition occurring in 1981.
