Getting used to fame seemed like a walk in the park for Thiessen as she spent much of her youth on stage. Thiessen began participating in beauty pageants early in her childhood. Not only was she competing in pageants, but she was winning them too. At the age of 13, Thiessen won Miss Junior America 1987, further raising her profile. This adoration from judges would only lead to better things in the future for the young pageant queen.
This young starlet had a look about her that intrigued people and she was destined to be in the spotlight. With her striking eyes and bright smile, Thiessen probably had a feeling she was going to make it big. Little did she know, however, she would become a star so bright that she’d have worldwide recognition. While Miss Junior America is impressive, it was just the beginning for the future Miss Kelly Kapowski.
