Meet our “Classic Cutie”! Donna Axum was crowned Miss America in 1964. She hails from El Dorado, Arkansas and graduated from the University of Arkansas! This lovely alumni, at the time of her crowning in Atlantic City, weighed in at 124 pounds (can you believe they recorded that information back then?!), stood at 6’5” and was a Senior. At the time of her education, she majored in Speech and Drama – and she was a member of Tri Delta!
