Vanessa Williams is an American singer, actress, model, producer, and dancer. Born in 1963, she initially gained recognition as the first Black woman to win the Miss America title when she was crowned Miss America 1984. She later resigned the title amid a media controversy surrounding nude photographs published in Penthouse magazine. Thirty-two years after these events, Williams was offered a public apology during the Miss America 2016 pageant.
