Didnt porn help another beauty queen? That Vanessa miss USA babe is the most famous one ever I think she's still on tv even now.
You're kidding, right? This was the 80s. A black woman, who did interracial lesbian porn, in possession of the Miss America crown, being HELPED into stardom? PLEASE!!!
Heck, Lisa Bonet got booted off
"The Cosby Show" for two seasons and off its spinoff,
"A Different World" PERMANENTLY, for doing an NC-17 movie flick that featured her in graphic sex scenes (
"Angel Heart").
Williams was shamed into near non-existence for several years, until a record company took a chance on her as she could actually sing and dance well. She blew up in R&B, eventually got into acting, and her talent and work ethic led her to OVERCOME the stigma of her humiliating resignation of the Miss America title.
