[post_page_title]America Ferrera as Betty Suarez[/post_page_title]
Betty Surarez is the protagonist and heroine of the show, and is portrayed by America Ferrerra, who went on to win an Emmy, Golden Globe and SAG Award for her performance. Betty is considered a sweet, intelligent hard worker at the high fashion magazine MODE, but is often looked down at since she isn’t as pretty or thin as the other girls she works with. Daniel Meade’s father was tired of his son sleeping with his assistants, so he hired Betty as Daniel’s secretary due to the fact that she was not his son’s type.
