America Ferrera Named Hispanic Woman of the Year
I told you she’d get so big Disney would have to make her into a princess!
The accolades keep coming for America Ferrera. The Emmy-winning star of “Ugly Betty” is now the Hispanic Woman of the Year, the Hollywood Reporter and Billboard announced Thursday.
The publications will honor Ferrera and the 25 most powerful Hispanic women in film, television and music at their inaugural Hispanic Women in Entertainment breakfast at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel on Tuesday.
Wow! America is hot, hot hot right now! And why not? She’s smart, and talented, and (so far) a VERY good young role model. Shoot, the only negative ting I can even think to mention is that she’s a workaholic, and in the US, isn’t that a good thing?
Ferrera “is a leader for all women, but especially those in the Hispanic community,” publisher John Kilcullen said in a statement.
He said the 23-year-old actress is “dedicated to advancing the position of Hispanics in television and film.”
“It’s an honor to be in such esteemed company,” Ferrera said in a statement. “And it’s a thrill to see talented women recognized for their work behind the camera.”
You go, America!
