Rosemary LaPlanche

Rosemary LaPlanche (October 11, 1923–May 6, 1979) was Miss America in 1941.

LaPlanche, from Los Angeles, California, was Miss California in both 1940 and 1941. A new rule after her victory disallowed contestants from competing at the national level more than once. [cite web | url= http://www.missamerica.org/our-miss-americas/1940/1941.asp | title= Miss America History 1941 | accessdate = 2006-12-30] She also had an active career as a movie actress.

LaPlanche had a sister named Louise La Planche. Her measurements were 34-24-36, and height was 5' 5½" (1.66 m). Fact|date=June 2008. She was married to Harry Koplan from 1947 until his death in 1973, and had two children: a daughter Carol and son Terry.

Rosemary LaPlanche—Miss America 1941—was first-runner up in the 1940 pageant. The rules were changed shortly thereafter to ensure that contestants could only compete once (at the national level) for the Miss America title.
