*According to the Chicago Daily Tribune, here is what happened on that Friday morning, July 19: "...after a night of sleeplessness and weeping, Miss Gage, in a closed session with Meinhardt, admitted her marriage..." She also admitted she had two children and had lied about her age. Her mother-in-law had been the one to confirm the rumors, saying Ms. Gage was married to her son, air force sergeant Gene Norris Ennis, was the mother of two children, ages 2 and 3, and was 18, not 21. Miss Universe pageant officials acted quickly and decisively. Pageant rules did not (and still do not) allow married women to compete. Ms. Gage was officially deposed as Miss USA, thus becoming the only "Miss USA For Just One Day." Her first runner-up, Miss Utah, Charlotte Sheffield, was named the new Miss USA and received the prize package that had been awarded to Ms. Gage. The official rankings of the runner-ups to the new Miss USA also changed. Just as Charolotte Sheffield moved up a notch, so did the other runners-up: the second-runner to Leona Gage became the first runner-up to Charlotte Sheffield, etc., and a new fourth runner-up to Miss USA 1957 was officially declared: Miss Ohio, Kathryn Gabriel.
