30 Under 30: The Actresses

Actor | RolesClass | Individual | America Ferrera

AMERICA FERRERA

AGE 23

BROKE OUT IN... the 2002 sleeper hit Real Women Have Curves, as a young Latina who struggles to leave the family nest.

WHY HER? Take away the braces, unruly brows, and frizzy hair and Ferrera is essentially the same character she plays on Ugly Betty: spunky, ambitious and, most importantly, genuine.

WHAT'S NEXT Before Ugly Betty comes back on April 24, she stars in (and executive produced) the gritty bilingual thriller, Hacia la oscuridad (Towards Darkness), out on March 14. This summer she can be seen in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (Aug. 8)
