Amparo Muñoz Quesada (born June 22, 1954), is a Spanish actress who, in 1974, became the first, and so far only, Spaniard to win the Miss Universe contest.

Biography

Amparo Muñoz came from a town in Spain, where she had won the city title, to compete at the Miss Spain contest held in Lanzarote. After winning, she went on to Miss Universe 1974 Pageant in Manila, Philippines, where she won, only to give up her crown later that year.

She became an instant celebrity in Spain, alongside the likes of Nino Bravo, Pedro Carrasco, Rocío Dúrcal, Rocio Jurado, Camilo Sesto, La Pandilla and other Spanish celebrities of the 1970s, following her victory at Miss Universe with a fruitful show business career.

In 1979, Muñoz acted in the comedy "Mama Turns 100". This was followed by performances in 1982's "Todo un Hombre" ("He's all a Man"), 1999's "A Paradise Under the Stars" and 2003's "El Tahur".

In the late-1990s, she returned to the mainstream Spanish cinema with the movie "Familia", by Fernando León de Aranoa and started a new life as an actress.

Among the actors she participated with are Felipe Arriaga, Rafaela Aparicio, Fernando Fernán Gómez, Eduardo Noriega and Vicente Fernández.
