Vanessa Williams: Wilhelmina Slater

Quotes 

• Wilhelmina Slater : I can't compete anymore with the bevy of 22 year old gym bodies. You starve yourself, you pull yourself, you inject yourself, you think your safe, but they keep coming to the door younger and younger like a hail of bullets until down you go. Why is it such a crime to age in this business?

  Christina McKinney : It's true! It started because women are so punitive.

  Wilhelmina Slater : And who's fault is that. I set the standards. Lifetime achievement award, there's my achievement; it bit me in the ass, and the hips. Serves me right, huh?

• [Marc is dressed as Betty for Halloween] 

  Marc St. James : Hola! Happy Halloween!

  [Amanda laughs like a hyena] 

  Wilhelmina Slater : Marc!

  [Marc flips around to face Wilhelmina] 

  Wilhelmina Slater : That is the absolute cruelest thing I've ever seen. Someone's getting a raise.

• Wilhelmina Slater : [about Marc's Betty costume]  Take that disgusting thing off! I can barely stand looking at the REAL ONE!

• Wilhelmina Slater : I can't deny it anymore; it's happened. I've become a woman of a certain age
