Miss Holland 1976

Lucie Visser & Nanny Nielen

After Lucy had won the Miss Holland 1976 pageant she would go to the Miss Universe pageant in Hong Kong but she refused and wanted to go to the Miss Europe pageant instead. After she didn’t win the Miss Europe Pageant she decided that she also wanted to go to the Miss Universe pageant. The Miss Holland comity refused as they already started to send Nanny Nielen to the pageant. Lucy got upset and she and the Miss Holland comity go into a fight. The Miss Holland Comity decided to dethrone Lucy and Nanny became Miss Holland 1976.
