Norma Smallwood was Oklahoma’s first Miss America! Click above to read all about Norma. An excerpt:

Smallwood is remembered for her killer business sense. She is reported to have made over $100,000 dollars during her reign...more than Babe Ruth or the President! When she had to choose between giving up her crown or attending a paid appearance, she chose the money! Miss America 1927 was crowned by King Neptune, as Norma was not there.
