Sally Perdue (also known as Sally Miller and Myra Belle Miller)[1] is a former 1958 Miss Arkansas and Little Rock radio talk show host.[2][3][4] She was a top-10 finalist in the 1958 Miss America pageant.[5]

Fulfilling a childhood dream, Perdue traveled the length of the Great Wall of China on foot in 1990.[6]

She was awarded Lindenwood's 1991 Alumni Merit Award for professional accomplishment.[7]

In 1994, Perdue stated that she had had an affair with then-Governor Bill Clinton of Arkansas in 1983.[4] She is one of three former holders of the Miss Arkansas title to have been extramaritally linked to Clinton.[4] She also stated to Ambrose Evans-Pritchard of The Sunday Telegraph that she had been asked not to reveal the affair by a former Democratic staffer in 1992, who supposedly told her that "they knew that I went jogging by myself and he couldn't guarantee what would happen to my pretty little legs."[8]

In 2005, Perdue settled a lawsuit over her dismissal from employment at the Friends School in West Chester, Pennsylvania.[3]

She earned a master's degree in Education from Regent University, Washington (D. C.) Campus, in 2006.
