Vanessa Williams Joins DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES

Vanessa Williams, who recently wrapped her run as Wilhelmina Slater on UGLY BETTY, will be joining the cast of DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES next season per TV Guide Magazine.

“I’m a big fan of Vanessa’s work and I’m so excited that she’ll be moving into the neighborhood next season to cause trouble in all the ladies’ lives,” says Marc. But don’t expect Vanessa to be at the center of next season’s big mystery. “I think our mystery is going to involve Paul Young [returning cast member Mark Moses].”
