Who Was American Beauty Pageant Winner Lota Cheek? People Searched For Death Cause After 99 Years Old Photos Got Viral

Lota Cheek is a late American beauty queen who got recognized as America's prettiest girl in 1921. Furthermore, she is also a winner of the NYC 1922 beauty contest as per various sources on the internet.

Furthermore, she was a successful actress in New York City who performed in four plays on Broadway under the name Lota Sanders and served as a music teacher. This information got shared by one of the YouTubers named Lornicopia, who believes to be her cousin.

The IBDB page has listed her credits for Broadway performances under the same name from the 1920s to the 1930s, and we presume it might be her. The credits include Cafe, The Man from Toronto, Simon Called Peter, and That Awful Mrs. Eaton.

However, a source revealed that the beauty queen was involved in a scandalous divorce case with Tyrell Davis/Harry Davis in 1922 as her husband married another woman. By 1925, she was remarried and took the name of her new husband, David Sanders.

The reason behind the death of Lota is not available as she is long dead, and the internet wasn't available, so only sketchy information about her is available.

Cheek might have died a natural death, or she might have lost her life to some illness that has remained a mystery. Moreover, how long she lived her beautiful life is also not known.

As per the Youtuber Lornicopia, the beauty queen died in California for an undisclosed reason, and she resided in Alabama during World War II. Moreover, she is the descendent of William Martian Cheek, a Revolutionary war soldier in South Carolina. And she was born as one of the children of Georgia farmer Leon Cheek in the late 1890s.

Furthermore, she last appeared in the Colgate ad, but she later lived a happy and content life out of the spotlight in Alabama with her husband. Lornicopia, who considers himself one of her cousins, has created a few videos about Lota, explaining a few details about her. To learn more about the late actress, go through his Youtube channel.

Lota is all over social media as one of her many beautiful pictures that surfaced in the past few years has surprised the internet and taken everyone by surprise as she looks marvelous.

People can't get over her beautiful smile and incredible features with long hair, so many have shared those pictures on social networking sites, including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter; some have also created Youtube videos on her.
