Fantastic Femmes--Vanessa L Williams

Note: this page has been updated with NEW info HERE!

The first African-American to become Miss America, Vanessa was also the first to lose the crown due to the publication of nude photos taken a couple of years prior to her entry into the competition. (She has since been reinstated as the official winner for 1984!)
For most people, that would've been the end of their career. But not Vanessa..
Since then, she's had a number of best-selling vocal albums, performed to rave reviews in several Broadway shows including Kiss of the Spider Woman, Into the Woods, and Carmen Jones, and appeared in theatrical and tv movies ranging from drama (Soul Food) to musicals (Bye, Bye, Birdie) as well as performing on soundtracks of a number of films including Pocahontas!
Her greatest success has been a tour-de-force performance as scheming editor Wilhelmina Slater on the ongoing Ugly Betty tv series.
She'll be doing genre again, as her schedule permits...
Trivia: Vanessa turned down the lead in Monster's Ball which was then offered to Halle Berry, who won the Oscar for it! Hey, nobody's perfect!

Fantastic Femmes--Linda Park

Note: this page has been updated with NEW info HERE!

Another Linda with a genre track record. In fact, most of her work has been genre films or tv.
Regular cast member on three series, all genre.
And, in my opinion, she's one of the few reasons to watch the first three seasons of Enterprise! (The fourth, and final, season was actually pretty good!)
Also a tae kwan do black belt and gifted ballroom dancer.

Infestation (Leechee)
Women's Murder Club (Denise Kwon)
Honor (Kate)
Raines (Sally Lance)
Spectres / Soul Survivor (Renee Hansen)
