The face of the Hawaiian Airlines logo, Leina’ala Ann Teruya Drummond, dies at 77
Leina’ala Ann Teruya Drummond, a former Miss Hawaii whose photo image helped popularize the iconic and decades-old Hawaiian Airlines logo, has died.
“Her life will be cherished and remembered every day by spreading the same love, light and aloha she shared with everyone,” her family said in the statement. Hawaiian Airlines said in a statement that its pualani logo was not specifically modeled after Drummond or any other person. Instead, the airline said that a black-and-white photo of the onetime beauty queen standing next to the tail wing of one of its planes featuring an earlier version of the island girl “helped further popularize what is now an internationally recognized symbol of our warm and welcoming Hawaiian hospitality.”Drummond was born in Puunene on May 28, 1946.
“The stunning beauty from Wailuku, who performed a monologue, placed in the top 10 at Miss America and is forever recognized as the inspiration behind the iconic Hawaiian Airlines face which symbolizes aloha worldwide,” the post said. “Rest in love and aloha — your light shines brightly for the rest of the world to see. Our prayers and thoughts are with her ohana during this challenging time.”
