The Great American Beauty Contest is a 1973 American satirical comedy-drama[1] TV film, starring JoAnna Cameron and featuring Eleanor Parker, Robert Cummings, Louis Jourdan and Farrah Fawcett in an early film appearance.[1][2] It was directed by Robert Day and was originally shown on the ABC TV network in the United States on February 13, 1973.
Allmovie characterizes the film as "An unsubtle but effective TV-movie satire of the 'Miss America' syndrome", and calls the belly dance performed by Farrah Fawcett "endearingly ridiculous."[1]
Plot
