Finnish actress, model and beauty queen (born 1955)

Anne Marie Pohtamo (born 15 August 1955) is a Finnish actress, model and beauty queen who was the second woman from Finland to capture the Miss Universe crown. She claimed the Miss Universe crown in 1975 at the pageant held in El Salvador.

Pohtamo was crowned by Miss Universe 1972 Kerry Anne Wells, not by her predecessor Amparo Muñoz, as Muñoz resigned after six months reign, when she refused a trip to *an.

However, in the midst of her rising career, she returned to Finland in 1981 and worked in fashion and beauty business for decades. She got religion in 1992 and has been an evangelist and lecturer ever since.

Pohtamo is partly of Russian descent.
