"Betty Suarez is probably one of the most beautiful characters that's been on television," said
America Ferrera (in
Diane Von Furstenberg) of her
Ugly Betty role. "She is heroic and strong and confident. I think that's an incredible image to portray as a Latina." In addition to accepting the Chevy Entertainer of the Year Award, Ferrera was also glad to have the excuse to return to L.A. and catch up with old friends. "I was happy to see Eva. I haven't seen her since I moved to New York," she said.
