Happy Birthday Ashley Jensen!

August 11, 2008 by Tom

The Ugly Betty – related birthdays just keep coming in August (including yours truly later this week).

The wonderfully talented Ashley Jensen(pictured at a recent Ugly Betty on-location shooting) is celebrating a birthday today!

It’s been quite a year for the lovely Scottish lass, culminating in an Emmy nomination for her work in Extras: The Extra Special Series Finale.

Her character, Christina McKinney was involved in two major storylines in 2007: her husband’s (supposed) terminal illness, and her decision to carry Wilhelmina’s baby. I’m sure that both story arcs will get major attention early in season 3.

I’d also say that, if anyone is benefiting from having Patricia Field as costume designer, it’s Jensen. Unlike Betty, Christina actually knows how to put an outfit together, and with Wilhelmina supporting her right now, I’d say Christina is going to be the best looking woman-carrying-a-dead-man’s-love-child in New York.

Anyway, Happy birthday, Ashley!
