Judy Welch

Judy Welch began her rise to fame when she became Miss Toronto in 1956 and then later became the first Canadian finalist in the Miss World competition. She  died in her sleep at the age of 74.

Welch was photographed with the likes of Elvis Presley and Paul Anka and was friends with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones.

When it came to love affairs, Miss Welch was sometimes circumspect. She would never say if she’d had an affair with Elvis Presley, whom she met and travelled with for publicity reasons after the Miss World competition. “We’d ask her and she’d smile and said, ‘I’ll never kiss and tell.’”
