There was no doubt that early favorite Mexico's Lupita Jones would do well on pageant night.  But not with stiff competition from the  likes of statuesque Paulien Huizinga of the Netherlands hoping to repeat Angela Visser's performance only two years before, and USSR's charming Yulia Lemigova, the first delegate from the USSR.  Lupita prevailed with the help of a large cheering section in the audience giving Mexico it's only Miss Universe crown to date.
