America Ferrera is in Denial of ‘Ugly Betty’ Cancellation

ABC canceled Ugly Betty, but America Ferrera doesn’t want to let go of her character just yet. She’s starring next on the big screen in Our Family Wedding. Here’s what she told Parade magazine:

On saying goodbye to Ugly Betty:

“I’ve lived with this character who I’ve loved from day one and I have only grown to feel more connected to her and also responsible for making sure her journey is a complete one. Her entire journey was about a transformation, kind of coming into her womanhood and owning herself both physically and emotionally. It’s hard to say goodbye. I haven’t really started going there yet because I still have four episodes to shoot. So I’m staying in denial for now and I’ll deal with all those emotions in a little bit. I imagine that when we finally wrap it’s not going to be a dry-eyed goodbye.”

On growing up thanks to the show:

“I never really pictured myself being on television. I couldn’t imagine a world coming along that would entice me enough to sign away years and years of my life to one character. Then Betty came around. I was 21 when I started and I’ve learned so much and grown so much as a person. It has to be about believing in what you’re doing.”
