Former teenage beauty queen turned actress, Ruth Zakarian was the first woman to ever win the Miss Teen USA competition held in Lakeland, Florida in 1983. Following this Ruth not only went on to the Miss USA competition, but she also gained a foot in the door for other showbiz opportunities. When she began her acting career she went under the stage name Devon Pierce and appeared in a few TV shows and movies, most notably in The Young and the Restless, in which she played the character Diane Westin. As far as we’re concerned, though, some of her finest work was in the movie The Allnighter (1983) in which you can find her roaming around the beach with her friends in a skimpy bikini and teasing some dudes. Her final movie was The Lords of Magick in 1989, and now she lives in Costa Rica with her daughter.
