Vanessa Williams is back on TV. After the end of the series “Ugly Betty” last month, the actress has signed on to join “Desperate Housewives” this fall.
The 47-year-old mother of four is currently starring in the Broadway play “Sondheim on Sondheim” through June.
“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,” said “Desperate Housewives” creator Marc Cherry.

I am happy for Vanessa. She has really turned out to be a good actress and she can play some diva roles.
