    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.

    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!
