    Even though shes a jerk face on Ugly Betty, we all love her. hide show

    Very funny on UB and she is quite entertaining, one of the people id like to meet, shes basicly a total betch (if you watch the "kelly-shoes" video on youtube youll understand) anyway...
    haha....but anyway, shes the jerk who everyone loves, and will always love, she puts a new meaning to "nasty" and i must say, we all LOVE it. anyway, shes a pretty good actress, i dont know what shes like in real life, but on the podcast she seems pretty nice, so if shes a total sweetheart in real life, then i give her extra kudos for being a jerk on tv. Watch ugly betty!!!!!!!!!! :P

    I was really surprised by her. She doesn't have many credits, but she is a fantastic actress and has so much talent and potential. She could be much more than what she is right now and I think she will.

    Best known for being Betty's arch-nemesis on "Ugly Betty." hide show

    Becki is best known for being Betty Suarez's arch-nemesis on the surprise hit this 2006-2007 television season, "Ugly Betty."

    She plays a snooty receptionist who is obsessed with Betty's boss (Eric Mabius), binge eating and staying on top of the latest style.

    I'm curious to check out her other work to see if she can act in other roles. I was surprised that she was played the "nerd" on the one "Ugly Betty" episode where she and Betty switched roles.
