By BOB THOMAS “LAS VEGAS, Nev, () — Will there be a “sequel to ‘the, brief, stormy carecr of Leona Gage, the most famous beauty contest loser of all time? - The-answer cannot be found; here in Las Vegas, where she is cashing in. on her new fame to the’'tune of $500 a week. But she has little realization of her burning ambition to be a dra- matic actress. She is limited to walk-ons in the extravaganza at the Hotel Tropicana. ‘" Leona Gage is the dark- haired Maryland beauty who won, the Miss U.S.A, title in this year’s Miss Universe pageant, then had her crown snatched away, It turned out she was. not a ‘miss, as the contestants are required- to be. She had been married not once, but twice, and had. two children. ‘Though she’ was banished froin. the contest, the tall 18- year- -old appeared to have come off’: better than the winner. Leona was assigned to appear- ances. on the Ed Sullivan and As she talked between shows, I gained some insight on why she would deny that she had been married until the facts were overwhelming, “When I was a girl, I went ‘to 13 different schools,” she said. “My family ‘was always on the move; I never had a chance to make friends, to get any roots. Since I was married to an air force man, it looked .as if my two sons would lead the same kind of life. I didn't want. that. LIVED FROM DAY TO DAY “fT never was really :happy. my life; I’ had no sense of ful- filment. I had no identification. I just lived from.day to day. “Acting has given’ me: that sense of fulfilment.
