I remember the significance of her being the first Black Miss America and then the scandal wrapped up in it with the nude photos that came up later. Although I was pretty young when this happened I remember thinking, who cares if she took photos? She seemed so glamourous to me.
She could sing, dance and act. Guess has Black, Native American and Welsh heritage.
@BennyB5555 yes she is. it's a matter of jealousy & money. people always want something from a successful person. v. williams still looks great today. not a big fan but i like "Just for Tonight" & her beauty.****
@MyWordizBond She never did PlayBoy. She took some "artistic" photos for a photographer while in college and after she won the Miss America crown, the guy tried to sell the photos to PlayBoy but Hugh turned them down. He sold them to Pent House and caused a scandal which then caused her to lose her crown. But she became one of the best comeback stories. She's still working in the business.
@GregWn Really? Wow. I never viewed the photos or even cared to, just stating what I've heard her say in interviews. Her decision to take those photos cost her her crown after the guy sold them. I'm just glad she never gave up.
@edrmain i read your comment, thinking 'why should she have been nervous?' i keep forgetting that she was not "VANESSA WILLIAMS" yet at this time. she was still a very young woman, making her way.
Shes looks way better then beyonce in her younger days... still pretty hot.
