Ten Years of Man Alive

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

This week:
1974: America the Beautiful?
The last in a short season from earlier programmes.
In the United States only one beauty contest really matters - Miss America.
Miss America isn't just another bathing beauty competition. Miss America is beautiful, truthful and wholesome. Miss America is the symbol of all that America possesses. All the good things, that is.
John Pitman for Man Alive looks at American competitions beginning with the La Petite Miss. In
1974 the winner was quite old - five. She confidently explained to the judges what she wants to be when she grows up: Miss America.
