Catharina Johanna Lodders, now Catharina Evans[1] (born 18 August 1942 in Haarlem) is a Dutch model and beauty queen who was crowned Miss World 1962.[2]
Prior to the Miss World contest, she was crowned Miss Holland in May 1962. Winning Miss Holland would therefore give her a chance to be crowned
On 12 December 1963, as a 21-year-old Dutch model and former beauty queen from Haarlem, the Netherlands,[3] Lodders accepted the marriage proposal[4] of 22-year-old American singer/songwriter/dancer Chubby Checker.[5] Checker said he met Lodders in Manila the prior January. (Checker's song "Loddy Lo", a No. 13 hit in late 1963, was written about her.) They married on 12 April 1964 at Temple Lutheran Church in Pennsauken, New Jersey.[6] They later raised their children in Paoli, Pennsylvania.[7] Their first child, Bianca Johanna Evans, was born in Philadelphia on 8 December 1966.[8]
