Norma Nolan became the first woman from Argentina to win the coveted Miss Universe title in the year 1962. Nolan was never among the favourites, and when she was called out as one of the Top 15 finalists, she was regarded as a “dark horse”. Although not a media favourite, she was very favourite among the contestants as was seen after her crowning. Not much is known about her after winning the Miss Universe title; Nolan kept a largely private life after her victory.
