Ferrera happy with 'Ugly Betty' farewell
America Ferrera has said that she is happy with the ending of ‘Ugly Betty’.
The actress – who has played lead character Betty Suarez in the US show since 2006 – is sad to see the programme finish at the end of the current season but is pleased with the was scriptwriters have dealt with the final episodes.
She said: “I'm very happy with what we're gonna be doing for her. We've wrapped all but the last few episodes.
“I love the show. I love the cast. I love my character and I'm just grateful that I'm gonna have a chance to see her through her journey and that we can wrap it up in a way that is satisfying versus it being: 'Oh well, that was your last episode and you don't get to finish this up'.
“It's bittersweet. It was amazing. I'm so grateful it was in my life and there is, hopefully, so much more to be done and it will always be just amazing memories for me. It's sad.”
Ferrera admits she adores the show so much, she can never have a bad day or feel unhappy when she is on set.
She added to Teen Hollywood: “I could come to work every day, even on the most exhausted days where I didn't think that I had any more to give and when you start from a very pure place of love, it's automatic. Your body just does it for you.
“All of a sudden I'm like: 'I'm so tired I can't talk' and then 10 minutes later, I'm arguing passionately about why I think it should be done this way because this is who Betty is.
“You start from a place of true passion and then it just sort of does the work for you. I made decisions based on truly believing in the character and the story. It really made the last four years of my life very wonderful.”
