Black History Month Essay #4



My essay is about Vanessa Williams. Vanessa Williams is best known for her role in Eraser, but she's also done one or two other things in her career.

Vanessa Williams was an attractive young gal when she was young, and she later went on to win a beauty contest to prove that. However, she made a terrible mistake. She posed nude BEFORE she became a famous actress. She ended up losing her crown to a whiny know-it-all.

This didn't kill her career, but I would avoid using google image if I were you. Damn perverts.

Her next step was a music career. This led to her biggest hit, Colors of the Wind, which was played on the radio every ten minutes when Disney released Pocahontas. Vanessa taught us all that white people were brutes that were not able to tell that the wind is blue. Yes, it's blue, dammit! This song won an Oscar, a Grammy, a Golden Globe, but no important awards.

Vanessa also had an acting career. While nobody can deny the importance of Eraser, her biggest role to this date has to be opposite of Samuel L. Jackson in Shaft. She played... I don't know. But isn't Samuel L. awesome? His lightsaber was purple and had MF carved into it!

According to her bio, she played the Queen of Trash in The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland. I guess she played the character that kept giving advice to fraggles.

Her biggest contribution to television was in a pivotal episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Here she got to lesbian it up with Terry Farrell, who is the one with spots on her body. DS9 fans recall her role with fondness. When you ask them about it, they'll at first say, "She was on the show?" Later, they'll recall, "Oh no, not that terrible episode!"

In summary, isn't this world a crazy place?
