Vanessa Williams and her mother, Helen, open up about new book and Vanessa’s fiery road to success.
Make sure you catch Vanessa Williams and her mother Helen on NIGHTLINE tonight as they talk about their new book “You Have No Idea.”
YOU HAVE NO IDEA is the highly anticipated first book from award winning singer and actress Vanessa Williams and her mother Helen.
Vanessa and Helen discuss it all: from becoming the first black Miss America in 1983 and the controversy that followed, to her debut and success on Broadway, and her resurgence in recent years on network television in Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives. Vanessa has proven she has serious staying power, and as readers will learn, that survivor mentality and resilience is inherited from her mother, Helen.
No stone is left unturned. Filled with personal family photos and mementos, YOU HAVE NO IDEA is an empowering celebration of the love between a mother and daughter and the lives, thus far, of two women who have consistently defied the odds to achieve success—no matter how uncertain their paths might have been.
As readers of The Randy Report know, Vanessa and I went to college together and we’ve been good friends ever since. With all the fantastic success she’s experienced in every medium you can imagine, she has remained the same down to earth, comfortable friend to me and all of us who know her. She’s really wonderful, and so is her mother Helen, who I met during the first year Vanessa and I were at Syracuse University. Helen loves to tell it like it is. Both are great fun.
I really encourage everyone to read the new book. It’s sure to entertain and touch you. The book is available today – April 17th – everywhere!
Check it out on Amazon. I got mine!
Felicity Huffman just tweeted this pic of Charles Mesure and Vanessa Williams at the table read of the final episode of “Desperate Housewives.”
It’s been a good season this year. I’ve enjoyed the show muchly – especially the first few years and the last two with Vanessa.
Looking forward to seeing how they tie it all up.
Vanessa Williams is moving off of Wisteria Lane and into 666 Park Avenue for ABC.
The complete pilot report: ABC’s got Mandy Moore, Natalie Portman and Reba McEntire
The Desperate Housewives star, 48, has joined the supernatural pilot about a young couple who agree to manage a historic apartment building in New York City. However, they soon begin to experience dangerous supernatural occurrences that risk the lives of everyone in the building.
Williams will play the beautiful and sophisticated, but cold, wife of the building’s owner (Lost’s Terry O’Quinn). If the pilot goes to series, it would be Williams’ third show at ABC, following Housewives, which wraps in May, and Ugly Betty.

Last night I attended a reunion of several of my Syracuse University classmates at the College of Visual and Performing Arts Gala 2011 to honor Vanessa Williams as this year’s “Icon of Style.”
The fantastic event featured a fashion show of the top collections from the fashion design program’s Class of 2011: Hannah Slocum, Syreeta Chantal Herbert, Torrey Hancock, LaTimberly Simone Johnson, Marteal Boniello, Sara Louise Coccioletti, Naomi S. Tilewick, Andrea McInnes, Jocelyn Tratta, Leilani Maldonado, Morgan Julia Bisignano and Dayna Shay Teitelbaum. I tried to take some photos of the terrific designs but a runway photog I’m not.
This was the first time since I left college I had seen a group of my classmates and we had an amazing time catching up over the evening. It was fantastic to see Gary, Tim, Mandy, Meri, Diane and Vanessa all together again. Thanks to Vanessa for reaching out and getting us together. Let’s do it again next year!
