incredible choice to cast Vanessa. she is perfect

@pj-fx7gx 24 күн бұрын

I think so, too. The character of Wilomena was comedic and played to perfection. She’ll bring that to the Miranda character

@Dina-ix1cb 24 күн бұрын

She's going to KILL IT playing Miranda Priestly! I'm so excited for her.

Williams's Wilhelmina Slater in Ugly Betty was a comedic take on Miranda Priestley in The Devil Wears Prada. So she has lots of experience w. this type of character. And her voice sounds great. This show will surely be a hit.

Both characters have Anna Wintour as inspiration. but Ugly Betty and The Devil Wears Prada came out the same year..

Actually they failed u can hear reviews about it. It is not the fault of her. It's the fault of the producers

I love Vanessa Williams, some of her songs hold a special place in my heart. One of cherished songs of hers is 'The Sweetest Days', it was one my Mom's favorite songs, every time I hear it I remember her.

Vanessa is such an icon. It’s amazing that she stared on broadway as the witch in Into the Woods and Meryl Streep stared in the film version in the same role and now it flips. Meryl played Miranda in the film and Vanessa will play her in the musical. Love it

Vanessa did not lose anything. Her Reign as Miss America was almost over with 3wks left. She did her Tenure. She is the MOST Successful Miss America in History. The First Black Miss America. Global Music Superstar, Big Movie Star in Big Box Office Movies, TV Series Actress, and Broadway Show Actress & Dancer. A Great Mom and Good Wife according to her 2 ex-husbands who were Not a match. They are Cordial and great parents to their Children.

If Williams were to ever work in pro wrestling, she would be an excellent heel valet/manager. She's a hell of an actor.

I rewatched some of Ugly Betty recently. While some of it is certainly dated, America Ferrera (and especially) Vanessa Williams's performances have aged very well.

I don't think she did a face lit or surgery. I think she aged naturally. I'm have her age and I didn't do anything to my face. Not everyone who looks younger than they appear did work on their face or body.
