Ohkay, do this chick is proboably one of my biggest instpirations. She's never really sold out and always seems very sweet and level-headed, plus, I think she's very inspiring as a Latino-American woman. As the baby of 6 chikldren, America Ferrera, grew up in Los Angeles though her parents arte originally from Honduras. Her mother raised all 6 children alone after divorcing her husband and always urged her children to have goals and dreams. She first starred in Gotta Kick It Up! on Disney channel in 2002 (C'mon, I think we all have to admit we loved this movie, especially with its catchy mantra of 'SI SE PUEDE!' (Yes We Can)) She then played a small role in Lords of Dogtown which is a great, very raw movie about the evolution of skateboarding and some of the most influential guys in skateboarding. In that same year, she starred in the gorgeous, touching, Real Women Have Curves, based on the play by Josefina Lopez, of the same name. Its seriously, up there on my list of movies you need to see. If you hav'nt seen it, do. And if you have, watch it again. She's also Betty Suarez on Ugly Betty (Its a wonder how they make her look "ugly", seeing as how she's so beautiful.)
