America Ferrera

Selma Hayek's co-star and everyone's Ugly Betty, America Ferrera is challenging the way the world thinks about beauty -- one episode at a time. You can't help but fall in love with the brace-faced, fashion disaster Betty, as she navigates her way through life. The show dares us to: "Be real in a superficial world. Be True. Be Ugly."

"I definitely think that Betty is a role model," America tells ET. "I think that Betty is wonderful. I like being in those shoes. She is a lot stronger than I would be at certain points."
