John McCain in 1950s:

Maria Gracinda Teixeira, 22 back then, was a model and ex runner up in Miss Brazil beauty pageant. John McCain was the son of wealthy Admiral McCain. McCain was 20 when he met Gracinda Teixeira. McCain’s autobiography, “Faith Of My Fathers” has described his meeting and romance with a woman.

She was not named in his book but the newspaper, The Mail On Sunday, did some investigation and claimed Maria Gracinda Teixeira was the woman in McCain’s autobiography. Maria Gracinda Teixeira rejected John McCain’s proposal of marriage because she wanted to live her life in Rio, Brazil. Teixeira was married four times and is now a widow. Based on a rough estimate, Maria Gracinda Teixeira could have been born in 1935 and her age in 2008 would be 73. Gracinda Teixeira still carries a torch for McCain. She hopes he will become the President of USA.
