at the end of the event, marking the first and so far only time Spain has ever won a Miss Universe competition.
There were 65 delegates from around the world who competed for the 1974 title. Six months later,
Helen Morgan, the first runner up, was unable to assumed the title and fulfill the duties of Miss Universe 1974,[citation needed] because she went on to win Miss World 1974, then was forced to resign 4 days later.[4]
The title of Miss Universe 1974 was not offered to any of the runners-up and Amparo Muñoz still remained as the official titleholder for that year.
