Marian McKnight
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marian McKnight (born 19 December 1936) was Miss America 1957.
McKnight was born in Manning, South Carolina. She earned the Miss America title with a Marilyn Monroe act in the talent portion. She later worked with Monroe's ex-husband, Joe DiMaggio, for a Virginia supplier of military bases. Despite the contention of Monroe biographer Donald Spoto, McKnight denies that she and DiMaggio were romantically involved [1].
She is married to Gary Conway; they are owners of Carmody McKnight winery.
