Marjorie Judith Vincent (born 21 November 1964) is an American journalist and former beauty contestant who was crowned Miss America 1991.

Early life and education

Vincent's parents, Lucien and Florence Vincent of Cap-Haïtien, Haiti migrated to the United States in the early 1960s; Marjorie was the first of their children to be born in the United States.[1] She grew up in Oak Park, Illinois, attending Catholic school and taking ballet and piano lessons. Vincent entered DePaul University as a music major, switching to business in junior year and graduating in 1988. Winnings from beauty pageants helped to pay her schooling.[2]

Pageantry

After two unsuccessful pageant tries, at Miss North Carolina and Miss Illinois,[3] she won Miss Illinois, allowing her to advance to Miss America. At the Miss America pageant, she performed the Fantaisie-Impromptu (Op. posth. 66) by Chopin, won the crown, and became Miss America 1991 on 7 September 1990, succeeding Debbye Turner.[2][4] Her win marked the first occasion in which there were back-to-back African American Miss America winners.[6] Vincent was the last Miss America to be serenaded by Bert Parks.

Career

Vincent, who already had two years in law school at Duke University before becoming Miss America, changed her goal from international law to television journalism, becoming a news anchor at WGBC in Meridian, Mississippi in October 1993.[3][5] She later worked at WHOI in Peoria, Illinois and the Ohio News Network in Columbus, Ohio.{{Citation needed|date=August 2009}}

As of 2008, Vincent was completing her law degree at Florida Coastal School of Law in Jacksonville, Florida.[6]

Personal life

Vincent has a son, Cameron, who was born in 1994.[1] She married Wesley Tripp in November 2006.[7]
