The highly anticipated first book by a
widely respected entertainer whose career highlights
include The Right Stuff, Ugly Betty, Desperate
Housewives, and former Miss America When
Vanessa Williams was growing up, she had a plan: She’d
go to college and major in musical theater; afterward
she’d get her MFA from the Yale School of Drama, and
then she would embark on a successful career on
Broadway. And to make sure she stayed on that path, her
mother, Helen Williams, gave her a list of things that
she should never— ever—do. Near the top of that
list was “never ever pose nude for anyone.” So
when Vanessa became the first African-American woman to
win the title of Miss America in September 1983 (an
accomplishment that she never planned for or desired),
only to be forced to resign ten months later due to a
nude photo scandal, the lives of both Vanessa and Helen
took an unexpected turn. But Vanessa survived this
setback, and many others to come, to enjoy a
thirty-plus-year career as an award-winning singer and
actress. Vanessa has been asked to write her memoir many
times, but only now—with the help of her mother—is she
ready to tell her story. Vanessa grew up in
Millwood, New York, part of one of the town’s only black
families. As a teenager, Vanessa defied Helen, flirting
with boys, drinking, and smoking pot. But despite
their early conflicts, Helen has always ardently
protected her daughter, staying in contact with the FBI
about the multiple death threats Vanessa received after
being crowned and being there for her during the
dissolution of her two marriages. Now the mother of
four children, Vanessa describes how she’s made it
through the ups and downs of her life as well as her
career. Jointly written by Vanessa and Helen and
filled with dozens of personal family photos and
mementos, You Have No Idea is an empowering
celebration of the love between a mother and daughter
and the life of a woman who beat the odds to achieve her
destiny.
