[http://www.mid-day.com/columnists/2012/jun/250612-opinion-A-star-is-gone.htm mid-day] wrote: Pinto who represented India at the international pageant way before Reita Faria famously won the Miss World title in 1966 was an iconic figure in the world of modelling and beauty pageants. Lack of professional grooming played a part in Pinto missing out on winning the Miss International title in 1961 at Long Beach to Miss Colombia by half a point! In Persis Khambatta’s book on beauty queens ‘Pride of India’ the experience has been recounted. Apparently, the five finalists had stood on stage waiting for the judges to deliberate, and Pinto was by far the best contender. And yet the final results declared Miss Colombia the winner! The mystery was explained when the Dean of the Judges, Vincent Trotta, later told Iona, “Miss India, I hope you keep smiling... because you stopped smiling you lost half a point to Miss Colombia.” Apparently, as the choice was so tough that the judges waited for one of them to do something wrong in those ten minutes. Sad because if she’d contested two decades later she would have had the best training and support system that would have not only have taught her how to smile but for how long and what intensity! Never mind, Ms Pinto went on to a dazzling career in modelling and a long, happy marriage and kids. She is survived by her family including her daughter Vanessa Vaz Muller, who herself became a leading model in the 80s. ==Miss India winners: 1961== Miss India Veronica Torcato- Eve's Weekly Miss India 1961 ==VeronicaLeonora Torcato== =Sources for the Miss India series of articles on Indpaedia... = '''...include, in the alphabetical order: ''' [http://blog.daum.net/47euymyung/7955486 Daum] [http://desihotmasala.com/ DesiHotMasala] [http://www.iam-she.com I AM She] [http://www.indianautographs.com/miss-india-world-universe-2.html IndianAutographs] [http://latestnewspics.blogspot.in/2013/03/winners-through-years.html LatestNewsPics] [http://www.mensxp.com/entertainment/gossip/8892-25-hottest-miss-india-worlds-you-should-know.html MensXp] [http://www.mid-day.com/columnists/2012/jun/250612-opinion-A-star-is-gone.htm Mid-Day] [http://miss-india-world-universe.blogspot.in/search/label/1947%20Miss%20India%20Victoria%20Abraham%20Khan%20%28pramila%29 MissIndiaWorldUniverse] [http://missosology.info/~missyorg/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=134368 Missosology] [http://missosology.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=91571&start=0 Missosology] [http://missosology.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=44434&start=0 Missosology] [http://www.oocities.org/zozozaaa/1A9aa.htm Oocities] [http://www.pageantopolis.com/Int_past/teenprincess.htm Pageantopolis] [http://sabrebiade.hubpages.com/hub/Femina-Miss-India-Part-3 SabreBiade] [http://www.southdreamz.com/2010/05/miss-indians-miss-worlds-on-kollywood.html SouthDreamz] [http://photogallery.indiatimes.com/beauty-pageants/miss-india/special-50-years-of-miss-india/50-years-of-miss-india-winners-through-the-years/Winners-through-the-years/articleshow/19122568.cms The Times of India] [http://feminamissindia.indiatimes.com/news/50-Years-Miss-Indias-grooming-experts/articleshow/19125366.cms The Times of India] [http://feminamissindia.indiatimes.com/news/50-years-of-Miss-India-Highs-and-Lows/articleshow/19144686.cms The Times of India] [http://feminamissindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/articleshow/articleshow/5925804.cms The Times of India] [http://feminamissindia.indiatimes.com/news/Success-stories-from-down-South/articleshow/18222100.cms The Times of India] [http://feminamissindia.indiatimes.com/news/Miss-Indias-and-their-Bollywood-breaks-debut/articleshow/19103553.cms Arunima Mazumdar & Richa Barua The Times of India] [http://feminamissindia.indiatimes.com/news/Miss-Indias-and-their-designers/articleshow/19214060.cms The Times of India] [http://www.voy.com/81120/2/ Voy.com] ===Related articles on Indpaedia:=== [[Miss India contests: History]] [[Miss India contests: Behind the scenes]] [[Miss India winners: 1947-58]] [[Miss Ind1a winners: 1959-61]] [[Miss India winners: 1962-64]] [[Miss India winners: 1965]] [[Miss India winners: 1966]] [[Miss India winners: 1967]] [[Miss India winners: 1968]] [[Miss India winners: 1969]] [[Miss India winners: 1970]] [[Miss India winners: 1971]] [[Miss India winners: 1972]] [[Miss India winners: 1973]] [[Miss India winners: 1974]] [[Miss India winners: 1975]] [[Miss India winners: 1976]] [[Miss India winners: 1977]] [[Miss India winners: 1978]] [[Miss India winners: 1979]] [[Miss India winners: 1980]] [[Miss India winners: 1981]] [[Miss India winners: 1982]] [[Miss India winners: 1983]] [[Miss India winners: 1984]] [[Miss India winners: 1985]] [[Miss India winners: 1986]] [[Miss India winners: 1987]] [[Miss India winners: 1988-89]] [[Miss India winners: 1989/90]] [[Miss India winners: 1991]] [[Miss India winners: 1992]] [[Miss India winners: 1993]] [[Miss India winners: 1994]] [[Miss India winners: 1995]] [[Miss India winners: 1996]] [[Miss India winners: 1997]] [[Miss India winners: 1998]] [[Miss India winners: 1999]] [[Miss India winners: 2000]] [[Miss India winners: 2001]] [[Miss India winners: 2002]] [[Miss India winners: 2003]] [[Miss India winners: 2004]] [[Miss India winners: 2005]] [[Miss India winners: 2006]] [[Miss India winners: 2007]] [[Miss India winners: 2008]] [[Miss India winners: 2009]] [[Miss India winners: 2010]] [[Miss India winners: 2011]] [[Miss India winners: 2012]] [[Miss India winners: 2013]] [[Miss India winners: 2014 (regional)]] [[Miss India winners: 2014]] <> [[Miss India 2015: regional winners ]] <> [[Miss India winners: 2015]] <> [[Miss India 2016: regional winners ]] <> [[Miss India winners: 2016]] <> [[Miss India 2017: regional winners ]] <> [[Miss India winners: 2017]] <> [[Miss India Universe/ Diva 2017]] <> [[Miss India 2018: regional winners ]] <> [[Miss India winners: 2018]] <> [[Miss India Universe/ Diva 2018]] [[Category:India|M]] [[Category:Beauty Contests|I]]
