Another ventriloquist first runner-up was Miss Louisiana 1987 Patricia Brandt. Ventriloquist Miss Arkansas 2011, Alyse Eady, also placed first runner-up.
And of course if your memory goes back to The Age of the Beatles (not quite dinosaurs) Vonda Kay Van Dyke Miss America 1965 from Arizona also performed ventriloquism as her talent; so far she is the only ventriloquist to WIN the Miss America crown.
