The 1965 edition of Miss Universe pageant was won by Thai beauty Apasra Hongsakula. Apasra was born to be a queen. She is the daughter of Group Captain Perm and Kayoon Hongsakula. She was the first woman from Thailand to win the Miss Universe crown. Apasra had a royal aura to her personality and was full of elegance and poise. That is one of the many reasons why she was crowned as the winner despite her short height. She returned to the pageant as a judge in 1973 and 1979.
