1957 - Deanna Briggs, Miss Miami Beach 1957 (center) - to become Mrs. Jack O'Brien

Miami Beach, Florida


Thank you to Jumpin' Jack O'Brien for contributing this image. Jumpin' Jack says: "Don, Panorama was a Miami Beach give-a-way paper way back when and I thought you might like to have the front page of a particular copy that I just happened to come across in our stack of pictures. The caption for this one reads: "Miss Miami Beach, 1957". "The newly chosen beauty, in the contest sponsored by the Miami Beach Jaycees, is Deanna Briggs (center). She is surrounded by previous queens: Sally Fisher, Miss Florida of 1956 on the left and Marcia Valibus, Miss Miami Beach 1956 on the right.""

"I met the lovely Deanna on a modeling job at the Beau Rivage Hotel on February 14th, 1958 and had the good sense to marry her a year later. Our fiftieth wedding anniversary is coming up next year. We have three full grown children, eight grandchildren and live in Cane Ridge, Tennessee about 15 miles south of Nashville...very happily, I might add!"
