During her segment on the show, the singer talked about touring with Luther Vandross, celebrating her sixtieth birthday within the Bahamas, hosted by Pamella Rowland, and auditioning for Miss America in 1984.

Williams attended Syracuse University on a musical theater track when she auditioned for the talent competition on a whim, after the play “Cyrano de Bergerac” on the Syracuse Stage was cancelled.

“I had April free and I said to my mom, ‘Do you’re thinking that I should do that Ms. Syracuse thing?’ She said, ‘Is there scholarship money?’ I said yes, because I at all times got scholarships every 12 months,” the Williams told Hudson on the show.

“My parents didn’t even show up. I sang a song from my performance class called ‘Being Good Isn’t Good Enough’ from the musical ‘Hallelujah Baby’ that Leslie Uggams had made famous. My friend played the piano and I got a washing suit at our local store in Syracuse,” she later added.

Widely known for becoming the primary Black woman to secure the Miss America crown in 1984, that very same 12 months, amid controversy, the star was allegedly forced to resign her title after unauthorized nude photos of her were published in Penthouse magazine.

In the course of the Miss America Pageant in 2016, the organization’s former chief executive officer Sam Haskell publicly apologized to Williams and her mother Helen Tinch. “I would like to apologize to you for anything that made you are feeling any lower than the Miss America you might be,” Haskell said.

With a profession within the entertainment industry that spans over twenty years, Williams knows a thing or two a few standout look, often wearing Pamella Roland. To “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 15 finale red carpet in April, she wore a lavender Pamella Roland dress with tulle detail.
