These competitions inculcate the values of discipline, self-confidence, sportsmanship and prominently the determination to be an inspiration to thousands of people. An exquisite beauty that has given life to these theoretical ideologies is the gracious winner of Miss Israel 2004 Gal Gadot. A global icon today, Gal aka Wonder Woman, commenced her journey with vying for the national crown of Miss Israel 2004. Her remarkable victory in the beauty pageant opened her door to success and with her hardwork and will power, the diva has managed to become one of the highest paid actresses of the world.
  Born in 1985, Gal was only 18-years-old when she competed for the crown of Miss Israel 2004. Her excellent performance throughout the competition made her one of the favorite contestants of the audience and she was largely presumed to be the winner even before the actual results were announced. Fulfilling her duty as Miss Israel 2004, Gadot went on to represent Israel in Miss Universe 2004 but unfortunately wasn't placed. Her loss in Miss Universe 2004 did not put a halt on her career and that is very well evident by her position now.
