The beloved series ‘Ugly Betty’ bid farewell in 2010 ✨ Developed by the late Cuban-American writer and producer Silvio Horta, the series follows Mexican-American Betty Suarez when she is hired to work as an assistant at high fashion magazine, Mode. ‘Ugly Betty’ stars Honduran-American actress America Ferrera as the eclectic Betty and is loved and acclaimed for its portrayal of a Latinx family and culture. The series was groundbreaking in centering a Latina character at the time and launching conversations about conventional beauty standards. It was an adaptation of the Colombian telenovela "Yo soy Betty, la fea" and ran for four seasons until 2010. ⁠ ⁠ #UglyBetty #AmericaFerrera #Latina #ThisWeekInHistory #BettySuarez #BettyLaFea #LatinaPower #RepresentationMatters #Poderosa
