==Biography==
Seelbrede, who hails from [[Germantown, Ohio]] won the [[Miss Ohio USA]] pageant in late 1980. She represented her state at the nationally televised 1981 [[Miss USA]] pageant that was held in [[Biloxi, Mississippi]] in May 1981, where she became the second woman from Ohio to win the Miss USA title. In 1981, Kimberly Seelbrede met her future husband during the Miss Universe pageant in New York City, New York, married and has two sons.
Seelbrede later competed at the [[Miss Universe]] pageant held in New York City in July 1981. This was the first time the pageant had been held in the United States for ten years: the pageant had been staged internationally for the previous decade after originally being held in the United States for the first twenty years of the pageant's existence. Seelbrede placed in the semi-finals at the pageant, which was won by [[Irene Saez]] of [[Miss Venezuela|Venezuela]]. Her relatively low placement was somewhat unexpected, as she was in the lead in the earliest portion of the contest then fell to second in the preliminary competition. There was speculation that a judge was instructed by a pageant official to give Seelbrede the lowest possible score in an effort to keep her from placing in the finals.
The host of the 1981 Miss Universe pageant, [[Bob Barker]], has been criticized for his sarcastic manner during the interview round.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20050310103120/http://www.geocities.com/pageantmania2000a/1981Irene.html PageantMania: Miss Universe 1981] (accessed 31 May 2006)</ref> It has been speculated that Seelbrede's failure to advance into the finals during the main competition was due to his sardonic questioning about the “exciting” places that she had visited since becoming Miss USA in May that year.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20050602074745/http://www.geocities.com/TelevisionCity/9699/80sdisha.html The Dish On The Universe: The 80's - Part One] (accessed 31 May 2006</ref>
Seelbrede was the second Miss Ohio USA to win the national title, the first being [[Sue Downey|Sue Ann Downey]] in 1965.
