Vanessa Williams could have easily written a memoir at several points over the last 30 years.
In 1984, when she became the first African-American woman crowned Miss America; when nude photos surfaced, leading her to resign six weeks before her reign ended; when she reinvented herself four years later as a successful R&B singer, and later, an actress. And so on and so on.
Instead, Williams, starring on the final season of ABC's "Desperate Housewives," opted to wait until now. Not only has she finally written a tell-all memoir, she co-wrote it with her mom, Helen Williams. The result, "You Have No Idea: A Famous Daughter, Her No-Nonsense Mother and How They Survived Pageants, Hollywood, Love, Loss (and Each Other)" (Gotham Books, $28), hit stores in April.

From Wikipedia:
Margaret Wise Brown (May 23, 1910 – November 13, 1952) was a prolific American author of children's literature, including the books Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny, both illustrated by Clement Hurd.

The middle child of three whose parents suffered from an unhappy marriage, Brown was born in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, and in 1923 attended boarding school in Woodstock, Connecticut, while her parents were living in Canterbury. She began attending Dana Hall School in Wellesley, Massachusetts, in 1926, where she did well in athletics. After graduation in 1928, Brown went on to Hollins College in Roanoke, Virginia.
