Singer, actress, and fashion designer Vanessa Williams
turned 59 in March.

On July 23, 1984, 21-year-old Vanessa Williams gave up her
Miss America title, the first resignation in the pageant’s history,
after Penthouse magazine announces plans to publish nude
photos of the beauty queen in its September issue. Williams
originally made history on September 17, 1983, when she
became the first Black woman to win the Miss America crown.

Miss New Jersey, Suzette Charles (below), the first runner-up
and also African American, assumed Williams’ tiara for the two
months that remained of her reign.

which later became The American Weekly.In November
1896, Morrill Goddard, editor of the New York Journal from
1896 to 1937, launched Hearst’s Sunday magazine, later
commenting,"Nothing is so stale as yesterday’s newspaper,
but The American Weekly may be around the house for days
or weeks and lose none of its interest.
