Vanessa Williams on her return to TV and Miss America pageant

Grammy-nominated singer Vanessa Williams has also conquered the big screen in movies like "Eraser" and "Soul Food." On TV, she co-starred in "Ugly Betty" and "Desperate Housewives."

She is also making her debut on CBS' hit series, "The Good Wife," starring as Courtney Paige, a wealthy businesswoman and potential donor to Peter Florrick's presidential campaign.

"It's kind of the first time that Eli Gold has somebody who kind of disarms him, so it's a multiple episode arc that I'm doing and it's nice to see Eli kind of get unraveled and a lot of people who have worked with him for years love seeing that part of him," Williams said of the upcoming episode on "CBS This Morning" Thursday.
