@@demetriusburley3686I remember seeing her on the cover of “People” (I think) in 1983. I just stood there at the supermarket checkout staring at the photo; I found her STUNNING 😍. Still love her
Vanessa is the epitome of the "I'll show you!/Living Well is the best revenge" stories after being dethroned to 40 plus years later becoming an icon. The most relevant Miss America ever! I love that she loved "Ugly Betty," and as she stated, I also feel that it was a groundbreaking show that constantly told the story of affirming who you are, whoever you are! It was a great show that I don't think gets the recognition it deserves, and this was probably one of Vanessa's greatest performances...she was perfection!
Saw her on 23rd street in NY some years ago coming out of a trailer. She was actually more beautiful in person than on screen or TV. (No kidding!) My son was about 9 or 10. He saw her and said, “Mommy, she’s pretty.” Vanessa must have heard him. She smiled, waved at me and my son, and said Hi. Lovely lady. Still humble and sweet.
I love her voice, I love her diction. And I loved her as Wilhelmina. She was fabulous! I never thought that she was a negative character. She is inspiring
Vanessa is bi-racial and most bi-racial people are told they are black. Why? My children are bi-racial and identify as white since they are brought up as with mostly white relatives
Wow, that's so heartbreaking! A cross burning in 1983 .... yeah racism was "so long ago" 🙄 . That's the stupidest excuse to stay ignorant to senseless violence.
Hmm ..” I thought it would never get picked up , because there was nothing like it” hmm it was FIRST a Spanish soap opera ( Colombia ) on Spanish TV . “ Betty la fea” the most successful soap opera ever , as far as Guinness World book of records... with 28 adaptions all over the world . Ugly Betty being only one , so no it was NOT ORIGINAL!
I guess she forgot but the reason her character was wearing different shoes is because pregnant women can’t really bend over or see over the belly so they just slide there foot in whatever 😅😅😅
Vanessa is gorgeous! I freaking LOVED her as Wilhelmina in Ugly Betty, she was hilarious
I actually knew of her pre Ugly Betty 🥰😍
I know right, love her!

This lady aged gracefully. She has a very classy aura.
I simply adore this woman, the embodiment of "living well is the best revenge."
She has an out of this world beauty and is very posed and classy. I love her!!!

Vanessa Williams is one of the most beautiful women!! Her face card never declines ❤

How can they forget about desperate housewives
Like yes they forgot desperate housewives but her wardrobe was kinda similar to ugly Betty and not very memorable
Maybe she hated it ..

I was at the mall yesterday, I was so mad. They don't make clothes like these anymore.
Wilhelmina NEEDS to come back. I adore u Vanessa...! Thanks.
Omg! She got prettier as she mature.
Eraser.....Soul Food..... Calypso in The Odyssey
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Vanessa is bi-racial and most bi-racial people are told they are black. Why? My children are bi-racial and identify as white since they are brought up as with mostly white relatives
Whats going on with the inner liner
I think Betty rubbed off on Wilhelmina a lot, lots of color, lots of patterns.
Betty and Wilhelmina and her male protege made that Show what it was, A bonifide classic!!! Hilarious 😂
VANNESA WILLIAMS HEELS 👠
YOU ME AND DWAYNE WILL SING HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW. BRING YOUR KEYBOARD.
❤❤❤❤
Wow, that's so heartbreaking! A cross burning in 1983 .... yeah racism was
"so long ago" 🙄 . That's the stupidest excuse to stay ignorant to senseless violence.
Nice
She burned the Soul Food wig though? 🤣
Lol I didn’t like that wig on her! 😂
😂
Who were they going to cast was Willhemina instead of her?!
1983 was a good year. (My birth year)
I never realised she had a nose job.The new one fits her face really well
Yes it does
😏👌
Dat was Excellent !!!
🔥💞🔥
Hi
I always wanted to play circus with her.
No Elmo in Grouchland???
Hmm ..” I thought it would never get picked up , because there was nothing like it” hmm it was FIRST a Spanish soap opera ( Colombia ) on Spanish TV . “ Betty la fea” the most successful soap opera ever , as far as Guinness World book of records... with 28 adaptions all over the world . Ugly Betty being only one , so no it was NOT ORIGINAL!
She meant in the US, I’m glad it was successful in non latin countries as well because living in France I got to watch it.
She was talking about nothing like it on American television, genius.🙄
She means American tv. And she was right, there really hasn’t been something as impactful and straight up like ugly Betty
I guess she forgot but the reason her character was wearing different shoes is because pregnant women can’t really bend over or see over the belly so they just slide there foot in whatever 😅😅😅
