Ugly Betty - The Woman who Plays Wilhemena

[NappyChange]

Was I the last person to know that the woman who play fantastically self-obsessed Wilhemena is Vanessa Williams - singer from 80's who had hit (just the one I think) with "and yooo go and saaave the best till laast"?

[Nbg]

I didnt know that!

She was also Miss America 1984, but had the title stripped for some offence or other

[Piffle]

[SchnitzelVonKrumm]

she was the first black miss america i believe

[Carmenere]

No I am the last person to hear that. Makes sense though I knew she was familiar.

Oh you won't BELIEVE the trouble I've had tying to convince DH that Vanessa Williams is black/mixed race. He just thinks that she's American tanned!

[noddyholder]

She was stunning when she was younger but looks a bit hard now although she is perfect in the role.I love Ugly Betty and never thought i would

[AllieBongo]

i didn't even realise she was black.. just thought it was a cat deeley orange type tan, and I didn't know it was vanessa williams. I love love love UB

[DeviousDaffodil]
