America Ferrera stars in ABC's hit TV comedy Ugly Betty as a plain Jane who struggles to succeed in the fashion world. The series, which was once renamed "Betty the Ugly", premiered as the most popular new show in fall. And it is ABC's most watched primetime series since Matlock back in 1995.

Born "America Georgina Ferrera" to Honduran parents, Ferrera is the youngest of six siblings. Growing up in Los Angeles, she started acting at a young age, in community theaters and in school plays. She has appeared in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Touched by an Angel, before landing the role of Betty Suarez in Ugly Betty. She once said, "Weight (is) a very emotional issue." Perhaps she's talking about Betty Suarez?
