Ugly Betty
Playing the sweet but clever "fish out of water", America Ferrera (The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Real Women Have Curves) brings the irresistible charm of Betty Suarez to the small screen every week on ABC.
Living with her father, sister and nephew in Jackson Heights, Queens, Betty Suarez graduated at the top of her class in high school and college, and sought her first job at Meade Publications to launch her career in writing. Through a series of serendipitous events, Betty lands a job as the personal assistant of the editor-in-chief, Daniel Meade. Betty, intensely loyal to her boss and genuinely honest, paints a striking contrast to the backbiting bitchiness of vain, superficial would-be models and gold diggers at Meade. But her ability to think quickly on her feet and put brains before beauty are also the keys to her indefatigable success.

Yes, I saw several of the original Betty La Fea episodes. They started out with a homely-looking girl, but by the end of the telenovela, she was anything but ugly, which goes to show what a little bit of make-up will do to an otherwise regular-looking face. The girl in the Spanish version (it was an entirely different cast) was actually very attractive.
I LOVE the show UGLY BETTY; I sooooooooooooo relate!! Blessings, Earth Angel
I always believe that nobody is really ugly. How can they be? Thank you, great hub!
yes I seen ugly betty on a talk show a while back and she was talking about a charity she was apart of for women who had bad teeth and if was effecting them getting a job there self esteem ect. Could you please give me her website for that. I am in Very bad need of it.
Ugly Betty is actually so beautiful. I love the show and waiting to see what's next tonight. Great hub.
i have seen the original "Betty la fea" many, many years ago now. It is amazing how so many countries have copied the idea and made their own versions.
Ugly Betty intially brought an education to the public with humor and entertainment. The series delivered a relatively unattractive minority individal into the fast and furious world of the fashion industry and some of the frustrations, barriors. and insecurities that she would be encountering. Now it has turned stupid, trite, and embarrassing. Why not give the writers and producers the freedom of creating an intellectually stimulating script that would bring up the level of the program, and stimulate the masses. It would be a much more effective and intelligent approach. Insulting the viewers with "single syllable plots" and garbage and trash scripts is an easy, short sighted financial "gimme." You have an important core concept... rise above the swamp mentality and deliver messages that stimulate society.
I like mark indelicato... mark i love you
this is the best show i ever seen.

hey yall. its miley i like ugly betty it's nice. catch me at xoxannaxox11 at aim! i love talking to my fans! bye yall! :] peace
Hi everyone!
I'm so happy to have so many fans!
Let me let you in on some gossip from Mode:
1. Wilhelmina is seeing Connor, but she will begin having an affair with Mark. (yes, her assistant)
2. I will start seeing both Gio and Nick Pepper.
3. Amanda will start seeing Claire Meade (yes, she's going lesbo for the woman who killed her mother! OMG OMG OMG!!!)
4. I will temporarily leave Mode to help my sister Hilda with her salon, and to sell knives door to door.
5. Justin will (finally!!!!!!!!) come out of the closet, and start seeing a rich, elderly gentleman (can we say sugar daddy?!)
6. I will get pregnant and give birth to twins. One, sadly, will be horribly disfigured.
7. Daniel will be written out of the script (contract negotiations with Eric Mabius fell apart, apparently).
8. The writers are trying to decide whether or not to bring Bradford Meade back from the dead - maybe as a flesh-eating zombie, if we've hit that jump-the-shark point of the series.
9. I might join an all-girls school and hang out with my friends Blair, Natalie, Tootie and Mrs Garrett.
10. We are toying around with an episode where I get involved in drugs and get caught south of the border trying to smuggle a cocaine-filled condom in my rectum.
THANKS EVERYONE FOR WATCHING MY SHOW!
