"The Bituminous Coal Queens of Pennsylvania" is a 2005 documentary film directed by David Hunt and Jody Eldred about the fiftieth annual "Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Queen" beauty pageant in Carmichaels, Pennsylvania. The film is produced by Hunt's wife Patricia Heaton, and prominently features actress Sarah Rush, who was herself a Coal Queen in her youth. Heaton describes the film as "an homage to small town America." [Patricia Heaton on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno", May 17, 2006]

The film follows the past and present contestents and winners of the annual beauty pageant sponsored by the bituminous coal industry of Greene County, Pennsylvania.

A memorable character is the pageant's stage manager, who is easily offended when the contestants make requests and suggestions. He has since been fired.
