Rebecca Ann King

Rebecca Ann King, later known as Rebecca King Dreman, is an American attorney and former beauty pageant titleholder from Hancock, Iowa. She is best known for winning the title of Miss America 1974.

Born on April 14, 1950, King grew up in Hancock, Iowa. She went on to pursue higher education in law while participating in pageant competitions.

King earned the title of Miss Colorado 1973, which qualified her to represent the state at the national level. She subsequently won the Miss America 1974 title. As a law student during her reign, she expressed feminist political views at the pageant's morning-after breakfast following her coronation. During her time with the organization, she pressured the Miss America Organization to award points for the interview section of the competition. She also spoke in favor of female empowerment at numerous schools and organizations.

Following her reign, King completed her legal education, receiving a J.D. degree from the University of Denver School of Law. She subsequently established a legal career as a practicing domestic-relations attorney with a specialization in divorce law.

In her personal life, King married banker George Dreman in 1992, after which she began using the name Rebecca King Dreman. The couple has two daughters, Emily and Diana. Her daughter Diana won the Miss Colorado 2011 title and competed in the Miss America 2012 pageant, marking the first time a daughter of a former Miss America competed for the national title. In September 2010, King was diagnosed with stage-4 melanoma after discovering a lump in her arm.
