Contents

Michele McDonald (1971) is Pennsylvania's only Miss USA so far. At only eighteen, she was one of the youngest competitors ever to win the crown. Apart from that victory, Pennsylvania has had only moderate success at Miss USA in terms of number of semi-finalists. Their most recent placement came in 2014 when Valerie Gatto advanced to the top 20.
