Early life
Landry grew up in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana. This southern region of Louisiana is referred to as "Acadiana," the heart of Cajun country. Landry is of French (Cajun) and Spanish descent. [2]. She graduated from Cecilia High School in 1991. She attended the University of Southwestern Louisiana (USL) (now University of Louisiana-Lafayette (ULL)) and was majoring in Mass Communications. She is an alumna of Kappa Delta Sorority.
Pageantry
Her first foray into pageantry came in 1990 when she was crowned Miss Louisiana Teen USA. The pageant is directed by RPM Productions[3]. She represented Louisiana in the Miss Teen USA 1990 pageant held in Biloxi, Mississippi in July 1990, where she placed seventh.
In 1995, Landry won the Miss Louisiana USA 1996 title, becoming the first former Miss Louisiana Teen USA to win the Miss title. She went on to compete in the Miss USA 1996 pageant, which was broadcast live from South Padre Island, Texas in February 1996 — she placed third highest after the preliminary competition and second highest on average during the final event. She was the highest placed of the finalists and eventually went on to win the Miss USA 1996 title. She was the first former Miss Teen USA delegate to win the title (although her predecessor Shanna Moakler, previously Miss Rhode Island Teen USA 1992, had inherited the Miss USA title from Chelsi Smith the year before.
Landry went on to compete in the 1996 Miss Universe pageant held in Las Vegas in May that year. She placed highest on average after the presentation show, and was ranked second in the evening gown and interview events during the final competition. She however, only placed seventh in the swimsuit competition. She was second going in to the final round of six delegates, but fell to sixth after the judge's panel questions.
Until 1999, Landry was the only former Miss Teen USA delegate to compete at Miss Universe. Her record at all three pageants was not surpassed until 2000 when Miss USA 2000, Lynnette Cole made the top 5 at all three pageants.
