Born in Port Au Prince Haiti, Claudinette Fouchard won Miss Haiti and the Miss World Sugar Pageant in 1960. Upon winning Haiti had made a few stamps in her honor, she also made it to the covers of Jet & Ebony magazine. She eventually left to study in France and eventually at Georgetown University in Washington D.C. After her success in pageantry, Fouchard married and largely left the public eye. She married a German Industrialist in her parent’s backyard villa in Petionville, Haiti. Her time in the spotlight was short, however she made an immense impact on the world’s impression of Haiti.
