1967 Press Photo Miss Pears Deborah

Miss Pears'' 1967: Mrs. Perryman, of Wembley Park Drive, Wembley, Middlesex, has a lovely daughter. In fact, four-year old Deborah must be the loveliest in the United Kingdom, nor she was today (July 11) crowned ''Miss Pears'' 1967. The ceremony took place at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London and Deborah was given her crown and a cheque for £500 by Stanley Holloway. Mr. Holloway was an approriate celebrity to make the presentation. Not only did he create the original part of Eliza Doolittle's father in ''My Fair Lady'' at Drury Lane, but he is currently co-starring in a film called ''Mrs. Brown, You have a Lovely Daughter''. Held annually to find the prettiest little girl in the United Kingdom, the Miss Pears competition this year attracted 73,826 entries. Photo shows the occasion was a little too much for 4 year old Deborah Perryman, after she had been crowned by Stanley Holloway, who is seen comforting her when she had a little cry.
