America Ferrera 5’1″
You already know 22-year-old America Ferrera from movies like “Real Women Have Curves” and “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.” But every Thursday at 8 p.m. on ABC, America shows up in our living room in a bad wig, giant braces, and an awful wardrobe. As Ugly Betty, she gently challenges our ideas of beauty and what makes a girl successful.
Last week she walked away with two Golden Globes for Best TV Comedy Actress and Best TV Comedy Show in style wearing a custom-made Brian Reyes dress. I watch Ugly Betty every Thursday where I became a huge fan of America. Her speech at the Globes moved me and everyone else in the audience. America may have bushy brows and wear hideous clothes on her hit TV show, but there is nothing ugly about this captivating star. Ugly Betty” is played by a beautiful girl who is a positive image for girls everywhere.
