Marina Papaelia

Myshimarina (Marina) Papaelia (Greek: Μαρίνα Παπαηλία, born c. 1931) was Miss Egypt. She was chosen to represent Egypt during the Miss World 1953 pageant.[1] She finished in third place in the Miss world pageant.[2]

According to Eric Morley's 1967 book, "The Miss World Story", when Miss Egypt Antigone Costanda won the 1954 Miss World pageant, she claimed her victory that year was also a victory for Marina Papaelia.
