Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on March 18, 1963)

Happy Birthday to the fabulous Vanessa Williams! From making history as America's first Black Miss America, you've dazzled us with your grace and talent. Whether it's captivating audiences on Broadway or charming viewers in "Ugly Betty," you always shine brighter than any crown.

Your voice has serenaded generations, proving you're not just a beauty queen but also an incredible singer whose hits remain timeless classics. Today we celebrate all that makes you extraordinary—your elegance, humor, resilience—and wish another year filled with laughter (and maybe fewer pageant waves). Keep inspiring us; after all these years—you've still got it!
