She is just so real and honest. I’ve always loved that about her. Even during the Miss America “scandal” and how that must have affected her at age 21, she always held her head up high. Wishing her continued success in all she does.
I still can remember when she was crowned in 1983 it was such a magical night. I was 9 years of age. I will always be proud of Ms Vanessa Williams. She never gave up. Thats a heart of courage.❤
I have admired her since she WON the Miss America title She’s the most beautiful , talented and NATURAL woman to EVER WIN 👑! She’s still a class act and a triple threat!
Vanessa Williams is massively talented. I loved her in Soul Food... Save The Best For Last is one of my fav songs (and was a huge hit here in the UK), I love her in the film Dance with Me, and her version of Work To Do is great, as well as her duet with Al Jarreau. Vanessa has an absolutely phenomenal career and she is a gorgeous woman. Love her.
Another underrated gem from her, in my opinion, is "Colors of the Wind", from _Pocahontas_ (1995, I think?). The movie version is amazing but Vanessa’s is so good.
She played character Terry so great that I didn't like her as the jealous sister. Vivica character Maxine was the Down to Earth family oriented Sister that kept the family Together. Probably Vivica best character of her career!
Any time that someone asks me, "Who do you think is the most beautiful woman in the world?" My answer is, and will always be Vanessa Williams. The young guys don't know her, but when I show them a photo, they say, "Wow" Now that I realize that we're the same age, I think "Bravo Vanessa" You're beautiful, intelligent, accomplished, and a class act.
I love all these beautiful comments about the most successful Miss America. Can we go promote her new songs? I really want these beautiful songs to be on all the charts.❤❤❤
I just watched the Miss America documentary on Hulu. As a Black girl growing up in the 2000s, I was very aware of Vanessa as an actress and singer, and my mom told me about the scandal in passing, but I never understood the magnitude of it until viewing the doc. What makes it all funny now is that she is undoubtedly the most successful Miss America winner in the pageant’s history. Her career has eclipsed that scandal, the misogynoir she faced, and her tenure as Miss America. Her resilience and her tenacity are what make her a queen in my book!
Vanessa Williams is the only Ms American everyone knows around the world and has a consistent acting and music career for over 40 years straight, and she is still known and loved all over and still sings and acts
What an Amazon! I've been nuts about her (in a good way) ever since the first time I saw her. Everything she has done in her life (yes, everything) has been done with class and elegance.
She was such a great Miss America 🇺🇸!! She handled herself with such grace during that ridiculous “scandal”. I’ll never forget how horribly she was treated by Charlie Gibson during a Good Morning America interview when she was building her professional career. And she just kept it moving and persevered🙌🏽.
The scandal wasn’t ridiculous. The pics were graphic and she gave an interview about her child abuse and her difficulties growing up . If anything we learned that a Miss America doesn’t have a perfect life. I think she proved herself as a professional and lots of people gave her grace it wasn’t all an attack on her.
I really love Vanessa Williams. She is a fighter and soooo talented. The Devil Wears Prada, lets her bring out the Wilhelmia State character out again.
Now Ms Vanessa you have worked very hard in your career when will we see you on the big screen again, I can see you doing a thriller, we need more of those type of movies.
✨💛✨I love me some Vanessa Williams from her acting to her music/songs. That were often around my surroundings as a young boy if the nineties, she’s absolutely stunning and continues to blossom gracefully.🧡🙌🏽🧡
@@CruzRosa-kk1nl SHE did not win any of those awards, I am saying she Should Have. She has a Remarkable Career and Despite not winning any In my view she should have.
She’s one of the many people who work for decades and just continue to shine, rather than win anything.. meanwhile, we have people winning every award possible, but continue being lame or mediocre.
I guess I don’t understand how people could think she’s underrated at this stage. She’s literally DONE IT ALL! Beauty Queen ✔️ Dance Pop Star ✔️ Dramatic Actress ✔️ Action Movie Star ✔️ Broadway ✔️ Disney Ballad Singer ✔️ Pitch Woman ✔️ TV star ✔️ Comedy & Drama & Musicals ✔️
That was a GREAT use of 14 minutes. She's fantastic. I possibly "met" her in Ugly Betty and just loved her and the show. I love her frankness. And she's so gorgeous!
Vanessa Williams is top class ,the devil can't take down God's star .....give her roses 🌹 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 because she earn everyone of them ...Vanessa Williams is legendary 🙌 👏 🙌🙌🙌
Ageless beauty... more than just a beautiful woman on the outside. She's smart, savvy, adventurous, caring and extremely talented. I've loved this woman and her body of work since the moment she hit the national stage. I'm only 5 years older and I can tell you that she was the dream woman of many young men like myself at the time. I was in the Army serving in Gemany (Bremerhaven) when the nude pics scandal hit. That Magazine was even sold all over Germany when it released and I got a copy of it on the very first day, even there. I knew that this was devastating for her, but I also knew that somehow the storm would blow over and she'd make it and still thrive because she was so talented. She stands before us today as a testament to exactly that... and wow, what a career, what a life, what a Gal? 👌 ❤
✨Vanessa will always be one of the most elegant and stunning women ever, all the while incredibly talented. 👸🏽✨
Such an icon. What an inspiring woman 💖✨👑
The People news 10 was the best one ❤😊🎉
The original light skin baddie! She's so pretty!
Vanessa Williams continues to shine. I love her ability to pivot through each decade or difficulty with grace and positivity.
still drop dead gorgeous at 61
@@dolcevitausa6448 i don't see 61 on Vanessa! 🪄
She's so beautiful.
Vanessa shines brilliantly as a person, chosen by the universe for the starring role of love, resilience, beauty, and intelligence.
She'll always be a queen in our hearts 👑✨💖

Inner Beauty shines from In to Out! Complete Personality! Hardworker with Style and Attitude!
Stay You Forever! ❤
It was amazing to hear Vanessa Williams share her journey from Miss America to finding her passion in music and acting.
I think as she ages, she has become even more beautiful inside and out.
I don’t recall the names of any other Miss America except for Ms. Vanessa Williams - she is more than meets the eye.
Such a beautiful and humbling story. She’s beautiful, inside and out.❤
Vanessa is the best…can’t wait for the new song, album, and show 🎉
I still can remember when she was crowned in 1983 it was such a magical night. I was 9 years of age. I will always be proud of Ms Vanessa Williams. She never gave up. Thats a heart of courage.❤

She's a very strong lady. Also quite attractive, intelligent and talented. She's someone to be admired for sure.
Infinity beauty within… and outside⭐️🌟
I agree! 👍
She was so good on Ugly Betty that she would be great as Miranda.
Vanessa has always been a class act. Love seeing her in concerts, Broadway and TV. Beautiful Soul
Honest account and reflection of her amazing life that she created for herself through focus and hard work. She is more than a gorgeous face 💗
Man has she aged amazing! ❤
Her as terry on soul food is a masterpiece that’s fully underrated
This WHOLE COMMENT
When she wielded that knife at the party and Vivica ran out the room 😂
Name another Miss America...I'll wait 🇺🇸 👑

This is such a beautiful and inspirational video! Thank you all for this! Glad she’s doing well! ❤

I could watch and love her in anything. She is absolutely so underrated.

I swear Vanessa gets much more beautiful every time I see her and the older she gets the more beautiful she is. I think she is just so striking
love you Vanessa . so glad you give yourself grace . you are incredible .smart , brave , talented , beyond stunning
What an Amazon! I've been nuts about her (in a good way) ever since the first time I saw her. Everything she has done in her life (yes, everything) has been done with class and elegance.
She must be tired of telling the Miss America controversy story.
Yes, I totally agree!!
@@lindapearson2815 she has probably told that story a million times
Exactly my thoughts. I thought the interview would be about her new songs, her next album, the devil wears Prada and other projects
@@mgithaiga1 I know!!😔
@@lindapearson2815
She will always be a stunningly beautiful. Talented actress, vocalist, and dancer. Happy to see her doing so well and living her best life. 💜
We met while I was doing a play in London. The most beautiful and gracious lady ever! ❤
I’ve always loved Vanessa, she’s a class act and so beautiful!
She still looks so good

I’ll never forget how horribly she was treated by Charlie Gibson during a Good Morning America interview when she was building her professional career. And she just kept it moving and persevered🙌🏽.
I remember that too!!!! He was horrible to her. She got the last laugh though because she's still here and doing better than ever!
The scandal wasn’t ridiculous. The pics were graphic and she gave an interview about her child abuse and her difficulties growing up . If anything we learned that a Miss America doesn’t have a perfect life. I think she proved herself as a professional and lots of people gave her grace it wasn’t all an attack on her.
@@elizabethwilk9615 I remember that interview she did with Charlie Gibson, and he was vile to her.
Vanessa Williams and Whitney Houston for me the beautifulst women ever ❤
omg still beautiful and first class 👍🏽👍🏽⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I really love Vanessa Williams. She is a fighter and soooo talented. The Devil Wears Prada, lets her bring out the Wilhelmia State character out again.
Brilliant, talented, beautiful and honest--amazing lady!
Vanessa Williams is beautiful in her 60s❤
Fabuolous Vanesa some how maintains her talent, beauty and grace even as time marches on. I hope to see in The Devil Wears Prada in England.
Great interview ❤❤❤❤.....always loving Vanessa 😁😁😁😁
Love her, she is a LEGEND!!!!
She has always been gorgeous and I love her voice🫶💯
Vanessa is ageless. Still looks beautiful after all these years.
And here she is. Still beautiful and positive about life.
I'm glad the black community had her back!
She sure jumped back to the black side real quick
@@krimsonedit3272her parents are clearly both black lmaooo
@@krimsonedit3272what “black side” ? Both of her parents are black.
Well, when she says death threats and sh*t are coming in… which is a whole other bag of insanity, why shouldn’t her community embrace her more?
@@erikm8372 the white establishment is the one that had an issue with her in the beginning. Because she was black. The black community protected her
Beautiful woman, very strong and resilient.
Now Ms Vanessa you have worked very hard in your career when will we see you on the big screen again, I can see you doing a thriller, we need more of those type of movies.
She is having the most fascinating life!
Can't wait to see her in this new role.

When did Vanessa win an Oscar?
@@CruzRosa-kk1nl SHE did not win any of those awards, I am saying she Should Have. She has a Remarkable Career and Despite not winning any In my view she should have.

She has a great voice to sing
