Ugly has never been this beautiful! As bushy-bowed brace face Betty Suarez on ABC’s Ugly Betty, America Ferrera charmed audiences, made the endearingly hilarious series a must-see hit, and turned herself into a Golden Globe, SAG and Emmy Award-winning star.

The sixth and youngest child of Honduran immigrants, Ferrera got her big break in Hob’s Sun dance darling, Real Women Have Curves, at age 16. Her breakthrough performance helped her land the teen girlfriend hit The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants before her Betty fame.

Ferrera, who lives with boyfriend Ryan Piers Williams, was saluted by Congress for providing a role model for young Latinas, while landing on People’s Most Beautiful and Time’s Most Influential lists.
