Beauty queen Suzette Charles says she saved the pageant career boost
Suzette Charles, who briefly held Miss America after Vanessa Williams, says she never saw herself as the other Miss America and helped boost the pageant and her show business. Since winning the title at 21, she has performed with Don Rickles and Stevie Wonder and now tours with Sammy Davis Jr. in Miami. Separately, bandleader Xavier Cugat, 85, was discharged after lung fluid treatment, having faced respiratory and heart problems since returning to Spain in 1978. Actress Ali MacGraw advocates public school therapy as a norm, citing personal gains since undergoing therapy and urging therapy to be widely available in schools.
