Vanessa Lynn Williams was born in 1963 in Millwood, New York. As a child, Vanessa began competing in beauty pageants, and the success of her experiences led her all the way to representing New York in the Miss America pageant in 1983. She won, making history by becoming the first African American woman to win the pageant. Unfortunately, the achievement was fraught with controversy and disappointment, when Penthouse published inappropriate photos of Vanessa, taken long before she’d ever entered the contest. Vanessa Williams opted to resign from her position as Miss America in 1984.
Vanessa Williams returned to her first love of music, and began pursuing a career as a vocalist. Her debut album was released in 1988.

Vanessa took the opportunity to simultaneously launch what would become a stellar acting career, appearing in several movies for television.
In the meantime, her second album The Comfort Zone (1991) rocketed to the top of the charts on the strength of an even bigger hit single, “Save the Best for Last." A few years later, Williams joined up with Brian McKnight for the smash single “Love Is,” featured on the Beverly Hills 90210 soundtrack. One year after that, Vanessa Williams accepted the lead role in Broadway’s Kiss of the Spider Woman, bringing her full circle and establishing her as a superstar in the real of music, film, and theater.

Her albums and hit singles include: The Sweetest Days (1994), Star Bright (1996), Next (1997), Silver & Gold (2004), Everlasting Love (2005), The Real Thing (2009), “Just for Tonight,” “Work to Do,” You Are Everything,” “The Real Thing,” and “Colors of the Wind,” which earned Williams a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and an Academy Award win for Best Original Song.
