Salma to be Part of Cast in Addition to Producing Ugly Betty
If you don’t know already that Salma Hayek is producing a show titled Ugly Betty which will air on ABC, you probably don’t know that Salma has now decided that she will star in the show as well. She announced that her role will be minor though.
Ugly Betty is based on the original show produced in Colombia called Betty La Fea. The show, which is the story of an ugly woman who, after a makeover, turns beautiful, was a huge success in Latin television. There is currently a Mexican version, La Fea Mas Bella, on Univision. Salma was smart to bring this show to the US because I have a feeling that, if done correctly, American audiences will warm up to it as well.
