Congresswoman Solis Honors "Ugly Betty"
Rep. Hilda L. Solis (D-Calf.), visited the set of ABC`s hit series "Ugly Betty" on Monday, presenting America Ferrera with a copy of a resolution applauding Ferrera for raising the profile of Latinos in popular culture, being a role-model to them and breaking down barriers in primetime television.
The Congresswoman introduced the resolution to the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives January 17.
A native of Los Angeles and a daughter of Honduran immigrant parents, America Ferrera won the Golden Globe for her portrayal of Betty Suarez in the ABC comedy series, a young Latina professional breaking into the publishing business. The show averages over 12 million viewers, 850,000 of which are believed to be Hispanics.

Should she really be getting an awards for this? I mean Salma Hayek does run the show.
Yes, but it is America's heartwarming portrayal that keeps viewers tuning in. Besides, I can imagine Salma being happy for America.
