14. America Ferrera
Georgine America Ferrera was born April 18, 1984 in Los Angeles, California.
Her parents, América Griselda Ayes and Carlos Gregorio Ferrera, were originally from Tegucigalpa, Honduras, and immigrated to the United States in the mid 1970
America is best known for her leading role as Betty Suarez on the ABC television series Ugly Betty.
Our Ugly Betty favorite may have shed a few pounds over the last year or so but she certainly knows where to draw the line; she’s still curvy and gorgeous, just a bit smaller!
She was also one of People Magazine’s 100 Most Beautiful People.
She was quoted saying: “I think Hispanic women are beautiful with their curves. I’m not sure who feels that way in Hollywood. I was never told to lose 50 pounds. If they think that they just don’t bother with you. You just don’t get the role and you never know why.”
She finished with a sentence that silenced all:
“That’s still better than physically harming yourself and becoming unhealthy just to star in a movie.”
