Vanessa Williams made history by becoming the first Black woman to be crowned Miss America, but the “Ugly Betty” star has always been defensive about her light skin and blue eyes so a few years back she decided to have her family history and DNA traced. Appearing on NBC’s “Who Do You Think You Are,” Williams found out her family hails from Tennessee and after having her DNA analyzed, the single mother of four was surprised to find out her genetic make up includes 13% Finnish and 11% southern European.
