The 41-year-old star, who portrayed Betty Suarez from 2006 to 2010, shared with E! News: "My daughter is really into clothes and fashion. I am eagerly waiting for the day when she can fully embrace the charm of Betty. I believe she will adore it."
America, married to Ryan Piers Williams since 2011 and a mother to five-year-old Lucia, mentioned that her daughter already exhibits distinct tastes and has yet to view any episodes of the show, as reported by femalefirst.co.uk.
In 2023, America expressed a strong desire to make a return to Ugly Betty.
She stated that she would reprise her role "in a heartbeat." When discussing the potential for reviving the character, America noted to Entertainment Tonight: "There has been a profound desire for a while since our Ugly Betty family is incredibly close and we genuinely care for each other. I believe we'd all come back without hesitation."
However, she recognized that it "requires substantial effort to bring a project to life. Perhaps we will find a way."
While America has enjoyed significant success throughout her career, she holds a special place in her heart for her most iconic character.
The award-winning actress remarked: "Betty is my heart. I would be delighted to portray her again."
Ugly Betty is based on the Colombian telenovela Yo soy Betty, la fea, created by Fernando Gaitan.
The series chronicles the journey of Betty Suarez, a bright and well-intentioned young woman from Queens, New York, who may lack fashion sense but lands a job at the prestigious fashion magazine, Mode. As she traverses a glamorous yet ruthless industry, Betty defies stereotypes and expectations while advancing her career and nurturing her close family ties.
