Description

Betty Suarez is one of a kind. Well, kind of. Because following the success of the 1999 Colombian hit 'Yo Soy Betty, la Fea,' a whopping 130 countries had their own versions of Betty Suarez. But that doesn't make 'Ugly Betty's title character — brought to the U.S. in 2006 — any less unique and beloved. Which is why we're excited to celebrate the groundbreaking series in our latest episode.For our trip down the rabbit hole while researching the history of Ugly Betty, we found creator Silvio Horta's unique initial take on Betty; a cast that loves each other so much, they're still rooting for a reboot; and a slew of reporting that inevitably (sigh) focused on America Ferrera's body. But, there's more: Allison and Kate discuss how 'Ugly Betty' was ahead of its time, platonic TV friendships, and, of course, fa-fa-fa-fashion. So grab your poncho and enjoy the story of 'Ugly Betty'!
