Equally smart and soapy, this dramedy starring
America Ferrera picked up a pair of Golden Globes for its critically
acclaimed freshman season. Based on Colombian telenovela YO SOY BETTY LA
FEA, this show follows Betty Suarez (Ferrera, THE SISTERHOOD OF THE
TRAVELING PANTS) in her career at a fashion magazine called Mode. Unlike
Mode's staff of vacuous vamps and vixens, Betty relies on her strength
of mind and heart to take her places, but her co-workers make fun of her
for her lack of both fashion sense and a size-00 figure. Though Ferrera
is a good enough actress to carry the show on her strong shoulders,
she's surrounded by a great cast and characters. Michael Urie and Becki
Newton play a pair of catty assistants, while Vanessa Williams (SHAFT)
is Mode's witch-on-wheels with her eye on the job of the
editor-in-chief, played by Eric Mabius. In addition to producing UGLY
BETTY, Salma Hayek (FRIDA) makes several guest appearances. This release
includes every episode of the first season, plus behind-the-scenes info
from Hayek and Mabius. Fans can also see Ferrera's transformation into
Betty: glasses, braces, and all.
