A GRENADIAN: “FIRST BLACK WOMAN TO BE CROWNED MISS WORLD”

Written by Christina Beatty

THE FILM: “MISBEHAVIOUR”

Misbehaviour is based on the extraordinary true story of the 1970 Miss World pageant in London.

In the 1970s, the Miss World pageant was ubiquitous — watched by more than 100 million viewers. Taking over the stage, the newly formed Women’s Liberation Movement disrupted the pageant with their message. The group claimed that beauty competitions demeaned women, and the take-over resulted in the group gaining overnight fame.

Then, when the show resumed, the result caused an even greater uproar. The winner was not the Swedish favourite but Miss Grenada — the first black woman to be crowned Miss World.

Misbehaviour stars Keira Knightly, alongside Gu-Gu Mbatha-Raw, who plays Ms. Grenada, Jennifer Hosten.
