Born: May 12, 1963

Although prominent roles in 1991's New_Jack_City and 1992's Candyman did much to enhance her Hollywood profile, actress Vanessa Williams is primarily known for her work in television. She is often confused with former Miss America-turned-actress Vanessa_L._Williams -- a confusion further fostered by the fact that both actresses appeared in two different productions of Soul_Food: Where Vanessa_L._Williams starred in the 1997 theatrical release, Vanessa Williams starred in the 2000 Showtime television series based on the film.
