Catharina Lodders

Catharina Johanna Lodders, now Catharina Evans (born 18 August 1942), is a Dutch model and beauty queen who was crowned Miss World 1962.

On 12 December 1963, as a 21-year-old Dutch model and former beauty queen from Haarlem, the Netherlands, Lodders accepted the marriage proposal of 22-year-old American singer/songwriter/dancer Chubby Checker. Checker said he met Lodders in Manila the prior January. (Checker's song "Loddy Lo", a No. 13 hit in late 1963, was written about her.) They married on 12 April 1964 at Temple Lutheran Church in Pennsauken, New Jersey. They later raised their children in Paoli, Pennsylvania. Their first child, Bianca Johanna Evans, was born in Philadelphia on 8 December 1966.
