I keep seeing the claim that she was 'Miss Teen California' when she was sixteen, but viewed the claim as being about as likely as her being still only 32. An email to MTC organiser Frank Lameira brought this response:
'Caprice whomever never won Miss Teenage California and never was a participant in Miss Teenage California. The Miss Teenage California Pageant was created by myself in 1980. Perhap5b4s she won another state teen pageant in California prior to 1980 that had a similar title, , but I can assure you the Miss Teenage California's first pageant was in 1980.'
See: http://www.missteenageca.com/review.htm for full list of previous winners.
I had the feeling he'd been asked this before. Can we now lay this to rest, and correct it?

Nice to see IMDB finally changed the fake reference to 'Miss Teen California'!
PM'd by someone who saw this interview in Stuff Magazine - just in case anyone thinks it was just some sort of 'misunderstanding'. Has personal quotes out of her own mouth such as "When I told my Brit friends about the Miss Teen California contest, they totally mocked it." and "I was Miss Teen California. I had to do parades and openings and wave and, you know, the things that a beauty queen does. God, Im glad those days are over."

Amazing no-one picked up on this before; for years they've been printing the same old rubbish without even checking the most basic facts.
