Kimberly Pressler

She became the fourth woman from her state to win the Miss USA title, beating press favorites such as Miss Tennessee USA Morgan Tandy High (the eventual 1st runner-up) and Miss California USA Angelique Breaux (the 2nd runner-up and later American representative and semi-finalist at the Miss World pageant).

Pressler later competed in the Miss Universe pageant held in Trinidad and Tobago. She became only the second Miss USA not to place at Miss Universe in the history of the pageant, where her preliminary performance was generally regarded as poor and too conservative. She did however manage to place 19th in the preliminaries in a field of 84 contestants.

Pressler later moved to Los Angeles, where she embarked on career in entertainment as a television host and LIVE reporter. Within a month of giving up her title as Miss USA, Kimberly landed her first national hosting job on MTV for "Senseless Acts of Video" where she remained for 3 seasons. Read Less
