When Kelli was 21 years old, she was an aerobic instructor and student at Wichita State University. Surprisingly she entered the competition, which was held in Kansas, and brought the title back home. After winning the competition, this model said,
“It’s an unbelievable feeling. I feel fabulous. What I’d like to do now is wipe all these tears of joy off my cheeks.”
After 51 years, the old actress decided to enter Miss Univers in 1991. However, she did not win the competition but was able to be in the Top 6. She also became the first girl to win the title in her hometown.
