Vanessa Williams Lands A Star

The beautiful Vanessa Williams had an excellent day yesterday, as she enjoyed being officially inducted into Hollywood history.  The former Miss America was awarded the 2,331st star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Despite her success, the talented singer/actress has had her share of Hollywood hardships.  In 1984, she gave up her crown as Miss America as a result of Penthouse’s release of some old nude photographs.

Although it was a controversial time in her life, Vanessa is now doing quite well and it was evident at her Walk of Fame celebration.  Her friends and colleagues from the hit show Ugly Betty all stopped by to support their co-star.

Executive-producer Salma Hayek praised Williams by saying, “We were so happy to get Vanessa.  She is brilliant because she is so nasty on the show, but in reality she is the sweetest person.”

Meanwhile, the graceful actress returned the praise, gushing, “I love working with these people.  I also want to thank my family for allowing me to live my dreams. The sun didn’t shine today, but my heart is shining.”

It seems clear that this hardworking beauty will have years of success to come, as she has been solidified in Hollywood history.
