description: "María Isabel Arrieta Gálvez or Maribel Arrieta was a Salvadoran television host, model and beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned Miss El Salvador 1955 and represented her country at Miss Universe 1955 in Long Beach, California. Arrieta is most known for her strong resemblance to Marilyn Monroe, leading people to dub her as \"the Marilyn Monroe of El Salvador\". Arrieta ultimately finished as first runner-up, losing to Hillevi Rombin, but not before taking home the title of \"Miss Congeniality\". She is the first Hispanic woman to become first-runner up in the Miss Universe pageant."
