Mona Grudt Bittrick is a Norwegian TV Host, dancer, editor and beauty queen who was crowned Miss Universe 1990.[1] She is so far the only Norwegian to capture the Miss Universe title.[2]
Miss Universe
She became the clear favorite of the judges, winning the interview and swimsuit preliminaries and all three segments of the semi-finals. During the 1990 Miss Universe competition, she listed herself as "The beauty queen from Hell" as a publicity stunt (because she was born in Hell, Norway; apart from that, 'hell' also means 'luck' in Norwegian).[2] Her runners-up were Carole Gist, United States and Lizeth Mahecha, (Colombia).
During her reign, she appeared in an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation as "Ensign Graham" in the episode "Identity Crisis". Grudt was also the last Miss Universe to accompany Bob Hope on his USO tour.
Life after Miss Universe
Today, Grudt is the editor of the Norwegian wedding magazine Ditt Bryllup (en. Your Wedding).[1]
Also, Mona Grudt came in 2nd place in the Norwegian version of Dancing with the Stars, in Norway called Skal vi danse (Shall we dance).[1]
Grudt returned to the Miss Universe pageant in 1994 when she sat as a member of the board of judges. In 2010 she became the host of the seventh Cycle of Norway's Next Top Model which aired in 2011.[3]
