VANESSA WILLIAMS JOINS THE CAST OF "DAYS OF OUR LIVES" THIS MONTH AS VALERIE GRANT... I had just posted a video mislead hint (of the singer Vanessa), and didn't realize Vanessa just announced the news herself! If you don't click on the Instagram photo, just so there's no confusion, the actress joining Days is the "other" Vanessa Williams (not the singer/former Miss America). It's always been confusing with these two. The Miss America, per SAG-AFTRA, is supposed to be billed as Vanessa L. Williams I think. The "Days" actress is just known as Vanessa Williams. https://www.instagram.com/p/BLHDMlFhKC2/ Edited by Jason47, Oct 4 2016, 02:22 PM.

She was on The Flash last season. I liked her. Isn't she a bit young to be Valerie? |

Just so there's no confusion, this is not the singer Vanessa Williams joining Days. This is the other Vanessa Williams. My video hint was just to get the name out there. Didn't realize the actual news would also be coming today. |

I think she was on Melrose Place, the first season, that was like 20 years ago. She looks like she hasn't aged much! |

I just looked at her imdb. I remember her from the original Melrose Place from when I was a teenager. Not sure how old that makes her now. |

The singer is also an actress, so that's a confusing question too! The one joining "Days" is NOT the Miss America/singer. And here's what "our" Vanessa Williams has said about the confusion, per IMDB: Of singer-actress Vanessa Williams, with whom she's frequently confused: "There's enough work for both of us." On being confused with singer-actress Vanessa Williams: "They'll just have to get used to the idea of two of us." http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004539/bio?ref_=nm_dyk_qt_sm#quotes |

:huh1: I was totally thinking singer/Miss America Vanessa Williams! :lol: Not Melrose Place Vanessa Williams. MP Vanessa Williams is still a good casting choice though. |

I can't believe I wait months to post a video clue of the other Vanessa, and then at the exact same time, the "Days" Vanessa posts the news herself! I had even been checking her Twitter weekly to see if any news (or hints of her working) had been posted. Now, today, I forget to check her Twitter, and then afterwards, I see it's already been posted!! |

She really hasn't aged at all. Looks damn good for 53! |

And they are BOTH 53 too! Just born two months apart. Has anyone seen anything recent with the singer Vanessa Williams? Is she billed as Vanessa L. Williams?? Or are they both just billed now as Vanessa Williams (which is supposed to be a no-no, per SAG). I remember someone awhile back asked me something along the lines of: Is there an A, N or S in her name (alluding to Tina Andrews). I didn't answer that one, as to not get the Tina fans' hopes up, since I would have had to answer yes. Edited by Jason47, Oct 4 2016, 02:39 PM.

Interesting fact, Vanessa Williams former Miss America was in the movie 'Soul Food' and the other Vanessa Williams was on the TV series 'Soul Food' based on the movie. |

I just had read that fact a few minutes ago on IMDB...and that just adds to the confusion of the two Vanessa Williams! Both born in the same year, both using the same name, and both appearing in different versions of the same project!! |

Having seen all the episodes going back to November 1983, this will be my first time seeing Valerie on-screen (on a TV) (besides seeing her kiss with David in the Doug/Julie wedding on YouTube), so I've been looking forward to finally "meeting" this character for the first time on TV!! |

I liked her on Melrose and The Flash. I'm really interested to see what she does with the role. I remember her from Candyman too. That movie still scares me. Edited by MissLola, Oct 4 2016, 03:06 PM.
