Where is she now?
As Miss World, Penelope appeared in The Bob Hope Christmas Show in Osan, Korea, along with Ann Margaret. A deep pink, mildly-fragranced rose was named after her in 1970, produced by UK breeder Peter Beales who was struck with her looks and charm and was fast to recognise a winner.
