Miss Golden Globe (also Mr. Golden Globe) is an annual title awarded by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. The honoree, traditionally the daughter (or son) of a celebrity, assists in the Association's Golden Globe Awards.
It was nineteen years after the first Golden Globe Awards (1944) that the title of Miss or Mr. Golden Globe was awarded. That year was 1963 - Eva Six and Donna Douglas are credited for that year, since then there has usually been one winner per year. More exceptions to the rule (two who held the title in same year) were in 1983, 2003 and none in 2008.
