Biography
From the very beginning, she was a big favorite during the pageant. After the reigning year as Miss Universe, Pohtamo worked as a fashion model at Wilhelmina Models in New York for five years. However, in the midst of her rising career, she returned to Finland in 1981 to marry her childhood sweetheart, Arto Hietanen. She then worked in the fashion and beauty business for decades. She became a devout Christian in 1992 and has been a Protestant evangelist and lecturer ever since. Pohtamo is partly of Russian descent.
