What makes her so famous?
Vanessa Williams is known as the first black Miss America, a title that she was forced to relinquish. Fortunately, she was able to overcome the controversy and parlay it into a successful music and movie career. Her hit single "Save the Best For Last" topped the Billboard Hot 100 for five week in 1992 she has appeared on such television shows as Ugly Betty and in hit movies like Erasure (1996) and Shaft (2000).
Why we adore her..., as we do?
It's not hard to imagine why we would like Vanessa Williams. She is beautiful, talented, genuinely nice, and she has been surrounded by some juicy scandal. What scandal? Well, back in 1983 she was crowned Miss America 1984. Vanessa was the first black American to have that honor, but she resigned because Penthouse magazine was going to release, without her consent, some nude photos that she had posed for in 1982. OK, maybe by today's standards and Donald Trump's belief in "second chances" Vanessa's scandal wasn't so scandalous.
Biography
Vanessa Lynn Williams was born on March 18 1963, to Milton and Helen Williams. Milton and Helen both held advanced degrees in music so they were perfect for getting Vanessa started in piano and the French horn. But it was her beautiful and silky voice that came naturally to her. It became such a passion that she pursued singing in Syracuse University as a Theater Arts major.

As Vanessa's beauty and graciousness matured, she started doing beauty pageants. Before she knew it, she was crowned Miss New York. She had to go on to represent New York in the Miss America pageant. So on to the pageant she went, not knowing if she could do the same thing again. But Vanessa proved everyone wrong and won the crown. As a matter of fact, she went on the become the first African American to ever win the Miss America crown. She had the world at her feet. Everybody wanted to interview her. But it was toward the end of her reign that her past had caught up with her. Vanessa had taken pictures for Pent.house Magazine in her pre-Miss America days and they were threatening to reveal them. So she resigned as Miss America.
