America Fererra, the actress who made a career our of being Ugly, is featured on the cover of the new issue of Latina magazine. In her coverphoto, America is lookin’ anything but ugly … here is her new photo and a couple quotes from her coverstory interview:

America Ferrera graces the cover of the October issue of Latina magazine and this Betty looks anything but ugly! America is looking classier than ever! La actriz cleared the air about a few things we’ve all been wondering about in her interview, and she even dished on her alleged feud with Lindsay Lohan! “Of course they want to make us look like we fought like cats and dogs, because people are going to believe it. And it’s total BS. It’s not true. It does such a disservice to the image of young women.” America also talked about her continued portrayal of strong Latinas in her acting roles. “It’s not anything I’ve done consciously. I’m just drawn to the characters and trying to make them more than one-dimensional.” Keep doing what you’re doing, America! Que vivan las Latinas! Check out more of America’s interview in this month’s issue of Latina.

Altho I’m not a big fan of Ugly Betty anymore (the show lost me somewhere near the end of Season 2), I am very happy to see Ms. Ferrera gracing the cover of Latina. She is such a beautiful young woman, it cannot be easy for her to be known primarily as Ugly Betty. Even tho she is making lots of moolah for the role, I’m sure it gets tiring having to dress up “ugly” on a day to day basis. I love that she is featured on magazines from time to time lookin’ as beautiful as she naturally is :)
