What's her middle name, Helga?
She was a beauty queen.
She didn't want to be ridiculed by her peers, so she kept her pageant ambitions secret.
She called Ted Kennedy a 'hostile enemy on the home front.'
Because she could stick fingers between her two front teeth, classmates dubbed her 'Goalpost Gretchen.'
She is squeamish.
For example, she became nauseated by the story about a logger trapped under a tree who amputated his own leg with his pocket knife. She covered her ears with her hands and walked off the set singing.

She plays classical violin.
She studied at Oxford and Stanford.
At 5' 3, she became one of the shortest Miss America winners ever.
Like everyone else, she dislikes Rosie O'Donnell.
She has been described as bright, beautiful, talented, and driven.
She wears short skirts.
She is 100 percent Swedish.
