I was not born when Miss Jenelle won the title but we learnt about in school well the school that I attended. She truly made Trinidad proud. Trinbagonians are beautiful people inside and out and I'm proud to be one. Miss Jenelle got even more beautiful as she aged. She's more stunning than when she was won the crown.
True! This was 1977. I worked for a brief time in 1984 in the bank where she transacted business, she would have been around 30 then. Her beauty then was mesmerising to behold. Flawless skin, perfect features, and all totally natural looking. You almost had to catch your breath, she was so stunning. She certainly lucked out in the gene pool lottery!
She certainly was the best, those were such wonderful times in Trinidad, people from everywhere would come to Trinidad, and always would say how beautiful she was, I was a teen and was so happy to be a part of those wonderful days.
One of the all time best moments in Miss U history. The shear joy of the black contestants in the background is heartwarming. Janelle was a beautiful and deserving winner!
Happy TEARS….still all these years later!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😊😢😊😢😊 As an elementary school girl this was almost unbelievable for me to see at the time. My gorgeous young mother was dancing around the living room.💃🏽💯🙌🏾☝🏾🎼🎵🎶
I am an African-American male, and I was 15 or 16 at that time and watched the show live. I was very, very, very happy and proud of Ms. Trinidad! My mother and I looked at each other smiling because we had predicted that Ms. Trinidad would win. However, I do not think that it is fair for individuals to assume that Ms. Austria was racist. It was very rare during that time for a Black Woman to win these types of titles...I actually think that Ms. Austria threw up her hand because she knew that she had lost and was probably happy for Ms. Trinidad! Why do people always choose to side with thinking the worst and negative thoughts? These pageants are very tough, and I do think that most of these women are happy for the ones that do win. And actually, these women at that time were extremely classy and tasteful in how they presented themselves!
I concur with your perspective. I was 13 in 1977, watching the contest with my mother and sister, and I distinctly remember them screaming: "...They finally gave a sista a chance and black beauty is validated, thank you Jesus."! I understood their sentiment well because Beverly Johnson was the only black woman supermodel at that time, and the beauty standard that was perpetuated by the media and the mass culture was that of white females with Eurocentric features. Furthermore, they remembered watching the pageant back in '68 when Curacao's Anne-Marie Braafhied was named first runner up (a milestone then because she was the first woman of African descent to accomplish that feat) and whom many observers felt should've won. They also remembered watching the pageant two years previously in '75 when Haiti's Gerthie David finished as 1st runner up to Finland's Anne-Marie Pohtamo. Finally, I recalled that Austria's Eva Duringer didn't have a great command of the English language. I believe that when Bob Barker said: "...and the first runner up is Miss Austria..." she may have mistakenly misinterpreted that she actually won. And just a bit of trivia. Eva later married one of the judges - Roberto Cavalli. Guarantee we all know for whom he voted.
@@lorenzacoleman690 I Try to give a person the Benefit of Doubt. In my Opinion I Don't think Miss Austria was Racist. What I Truly Believe Due to the Year and Country...Miss Austria jumped the gun. She Thought she was going to be the Winner.
@@RN-DNP a few points: Miss Trinidad & Tobago whilst undeniably pretty and a deserved winner, won in part because her features were in fact very 'Eurocentric' as you termed it. I believe for a while there was a phrase coined: "Barbie doll dipped in chocolate" to describe just that phenomenon. The black supermodel you mentioned also had similar facial qualities, as did other famous black beauties from an earlier time (Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne etc). The other point concerns Miss Austria's reaction. She actually threw up her hands in excited glee BEFORE any country's name was announced. Which means she could NOT have been celebrating for the winner, she did not know who it was. Therefore the only plausible explanation is that she thought she'd won, and why would she have thought that? Because there'd never been a black Miss Universe before, and it never occurred to her that she could or would lose to a black contestant. Make of that what you will....
@@selkcebr you totally missed that point… with comprehension is fundamental… I comprehended what the person was saying just fine. The response of that poster made didn’t make sense…
I was 11 years old in 1977 but I clearly remember watching this pagent with my cousins. I knew Miss Trinidad Tabago was going to win at the very begining with the parade of nations. She had a beauty that starkly stood out among the others. I was right.
They couldn't have given the Crown to a better contestant. What most people don't know is back then the photographers used to ignore the girls from the Caribbean, because they were not pretty enough and they didn't fit in to the white man standard of beauty. That year when Penny won Miss BERMUDA" Connie Firth" decided enough is enough and she got Penny and the rest of the other girls from the Caribbean and they decided that they will not participate in the pageant because of Prejudice towards them, of course the Organizers of the Pageant got scared of the scandal it will cause and the negative publicity because the girls from the island were there to make up numbers. When Penny was crowned Miss Universe 1977, she said in an interview, she give "THANKS TO MISS BERMUDA" for getting the girls together to stand up against Discrimination. Many people may have forgotten about this but that's what the black girls endured back in the day but didn't have the courage to do so, until 1977. SO as I tip my hat off to the gorgeous Janelle Penny Commissiong, I also have to give a very special thank you to Miss BERMUDA " Connie Firth"for taking that firm stand so our Beautiful Penny came shining through. Thank you ladies.
@@adiksadiatabs No you racist fuck, she won because she was the best. Something you racist Asians can't comprehend. Sorry, you're not white like you had hoped.
The close up of her is superb, I not sure we will ever another Miss Universe is beautiful as she.I am proud of you Penny, and I am still your number one fan,
I got chills watching this...all my life I grew up knowing janelle was my mom cousin but for the first time I felt the importance and am so proud to carry my last name & be a Commissiong... Such a beautiful and graceful woman #CommissiongFamily
Yes you should be very proud. She made history. And she made T&T proud. Our very 1st MU winner. And my goodness was she STUNNING in this video and she's still beautiful now :) :D TIMELESS BEAUTY.
I was a little kid when she won. And she was sooo famous here in México ! Everybody was stunned and happy for her being the first colour girl to be crowned MUniverse! Congrats!
Miss Austria is a racist white race cause she thought she won just because of her white race ! It is like all white race who always think superior to other races
All misses from America latina are fake and not natural at all because of cosmetic surgery. Being miss universe is not an honor cause this competition makes women as object. Latina people are from Spain basically who killed American indian in order to steal the American Indian lands. So latina people are white race like Spanish people who are racist naturally. The proof that you eliminated American Indian.
This moment doesn’t get talked about enough. Not only was Jenelle the first Black Miss Universe, she advocated for Black rights and world peace during her reign.
Thank you for having these - they bring back memories of watching and trying to pick the winner of the pageants (with host Bob Barker) in our family room :).
Was so glad for Janelle! A well deserved win for a beautiful woman. She gave hope to other contestants of different races that they had a chance to win Miss Universe!
La africanas de la parte de atrás del escenario se estaban tomando las manos y saltando de emoción :') la primer mujer de raza negra en ganar la corona.
Yes, Trinidad & Tobago, Janelle Commissiong was the first black Miss Universe. The following year, she was FORCE to crown a racist white woman from South Africa!!! On this 1978 Miss Universe crowning video, ua-cam.com/video/z-M0TSFrif4/v-deo.html South Africa shown off her racist attitude at the first black Miss Universe!! She was trying VERY HARD not to look at Miss Universe 1977 because she's black and they DID NOT give her a bouquet of flowers. Pageant officials told Janelle that South Africa was the winner and NOT to hug and kiss her. That is why she was playing around with the Miss Universe sash. This pageant was fixed. The REAL WINNER was USA or Columbia.
I was able to spend time with Janelle and a number of other Miss Universes and Miss USAs at a Miss Universe party at the W in Hollywood about 3-4 years ago. She was so lovely and classy as was: Sylvia Hitchcock, Michelle (Namibia), Chelsea Smith. Wasn't impressed with Brooke Lee. Susie Castillo (Mass) and Shauntay Hinton (very down to earth, smart) were lovely too to spend time with. Fun Night!!
The final 2 women, Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago represent countries that are neighbors. A few miles apart. Lot of beauty in those parts. Simply stunning!
@@danilang3504 The following year, pageant officials not the judges picked racist Miss South Africa, Margaret Gardiner because she was from apartheid South Africa and the outgoing Miss Universe was black. Margaret Gardiner showed off her racist attitude at the first black Miss Universe, Janelle Commissiong. She was trying REAL HARD not to look at her predecessor. Pageant officials told Janelle that Miss South Africa was the winner, not to hug and kiss her. They did not give that racist b----h a bouquet of flowers and they started showing “Miss Universe”, “Tide”, “Gleem”, “Prell Shampoo” all over her racist face. ua-cam.com/video/4mnboMgeJOs/v-deo.html
Hermoza, y notece la alegria de todas las candidatas en la parte de atras como festejanj con entusiasmo y algarabia la coronación de la primera mujer morena coronada Ms Universe, una verdadera muñeca sin ningun tipo de artificios.
Congrats Janelle for winning the Miss UNIVERSE title as the first AFURAKA QUEEN,You are truly BLESS.I am proud that you pave the way for our AFURAKA QUEENS to win beauty pageants for years to come.
This is so funny; Miss Austria just knew she had it. She threw her hands up before he announced the name. I think she was stunned because the lady who presented her with the flowers had to give her a slight tug to move her away. This was very significant because Miss Trinidad and Tobago was the first black woman to be crowned Miss Universe.
The other black contestants was so happy for her! First time a black women won Miss Universe
Just like in 1998... All black women rejoiced on stage when Wendy Fitzwilliams, also from Trinidad was announced as the winner...
It was amazing! I was really happy, because she is a gorgeous and smart lady.
Same thing happen this year with Miss Nigeria

Don't hate because you're obviously not a beautiful woman 😡
She wasn't even at the height of her beauty here, she became more beautiful as she got older. But she was always full of grace and charm.

I used to see her riding the subway before she became miss universe she was beautiful back then
the year after when she didi her final walk she was just too much a living doll a barbie

She certainly was the best, those were such wonderful times in Trinidad, people from everywhere would come to Trinidad, and always would say how beautiful she was, I was a teen and was so happy to be a part of those wonderful days.

yes she was indeed. Big blow on the face for the racist people out there.

This is so funny; Miss Austria just knew she had it. She threw her hands up before he announced the name. I think she was stunned because the lady who presented her with the flowers had to give her a slight tug to move her away.
