Many people don't recognize America Ferrera when she takes off her thick faux glasses, yanks the braces of her teeth, and removes the punchy colorful poncho. As the title character in the ABC hit sitcom Ugly Betty, America Ferrera gets to explore her slapstick side as a smart, sassy, uncoordinated, and style inept assistant to the editor-in-chief of a glossy fashion magazine. The adorable actress has won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for her work on the successful series. Ferrera also starred in the popular teen-flick The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, as well as Lords of Dogtown, Muertas, and Steel City.
