Terry Meeuwsen

Terry Anne Meeuwsen (born 1949 in DePere, Wisconsin) is an American television personality and singer. She is also known for winning the Miss America pageant in 1973.

After her reign as Miss America, college work, and a stint with the New Christy Minstrels singing group, Meeuwsen went into television work at WTMJ-TV in Milwaukee in 1978. She left the station in 1986 to raise her family. Meeuwsen appeared numerous times in the 1980s as a guest co-host of "The 700 Club," the flagship show of the Christian Broadcasting Network. In 1993, she became a permanent co-host on the show, sitting daily beside CBN founder Pat Robertson. Since 2000, she has also co-hosted an additional CBN show, "Living the Life," along with comedian Louise DuArt. (Both shows are also shown on ABC Family.)

Meeuwsen has released one recording, "Eyes of My Heart". She has also authored four books.

Meewusen and her husband, Andy Friedrich, have seven children. (The marriage is the second for each.) The couple has strongly advocated adoption, and most of their children are adopted from difficult backgrounds. Their youngest three girls were adopted from Ukraine.
