Catharina Johanna Lodders won the 1962 Miss World contest, representing the Netherlands. Prior to it, she was crowned Miss Holland in May 1962. She then also was crowned Miss Benelux, followed by Miss World later that year. She became the second woman from her country to win the title. The pageant was held in London. Upon winning the contest, she is quoted as saying "I don't think I'm the most beautiful girl in the world - I am the most beautiful girl here". On 12 December 1963, as a 21 year old Dutch model and now former beauty queen from Haarlem, the Netherlands, Lodders accepted the marriage proposal of 22 year old American millionaire singer/songwriter/dancer Chubby Checker. Checker said he met Miss Lodders in Manila the prior January. They married on 12 April 1964 at Temple Lutheran Church in Pennsauken, NJ. They later raised their children in Paoli, Pennsylvania, where they moved into a fashionable stone and frame colonial house reportedly costing between $80?100k. Their first child, Bianca Johanna Evans, was born in a Philadelphia hospital on 8 December 1966 at 12:36 am weighing 7 pounds, 14 ounces.
