In 2008, America won a ALMA Award for Outstanding Latin Lead Ensemble along with her Ugly Betty castmates Tony Plana, Ana Ortiz and Mark Indelicato. (edit) America was ranked #84 in Maxim's Hot 100 Women 2008. (edit) In 2008, when America had a 3-month break from filming Ugly Betty because of the highly publicized writers' strike, she lost 30 pounds, but she wouldn't tell the press how she did it. (edit) In 2008, America won the NAACP Award as the Best Actress in a Comedy for her performance in Ugly Betty. (edit) On December 13, 2007, America Ferrera was nominated for a Golden Globe Award in the "Actress in a Leading Role - Musical Or Comedy Series" category for his performance in Ugly Betty. (edit)

America: (about her and her "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" co-stars) I don't know who in this group has time to get into trouble, because I sure don't. I have dogs to walk and songs to load into my I-Pod. That's my exciting life. I've met women who look up to all of us from these Sisterhood movies, and that means something to me. Now, if any of us dared to be ridiculous, we'd be getting a lot of phone calls from each other. It would be like, "What are you doing? You're grounded!" (edit) America: (on her feelings when her father abandoned her family while she was a child) It wasn't easy, but as a kid you find ways to make sense of it. It wasn't until I was older that I thought, 'Damn, I never really grieved over that'. And there have been male figures in my life who provided that kind of fatherhood role for longer than he was ever in my life. (edit) America: It's so reassuring to have a woman heroine who triumphs with more than just what she has on the outside... who has more to offer the world than just a pretty picture. To me, the tragedy about this whole image-obsessed society is that young girls get so caught up in just achieving that they forget to realize that they have so much more to offer the world. (edit) America: I think it's hilarious when people call Jessica Alba or Eva Longoria curvy. Come on. They're not curvy. They're small. I'm curvy. (edit) America Ferrera: I read Cliffs Notes when I was in school. I recently went back and read A Farewell to Arms and Steppenwolf, just to get the education that I paid for. (edit)
