London: ‘Ugly Betty’ will be ugly no more as the protagonist of the superhit series will finally get a make-over in it`s final episodes.
Along with her bushy eyebrows and wacky outfits, Ugly Betty`s braces have become her trademark. But after four long years, the endearing Mode secretary will undergo a glamorous transformation, reported Daily Mail online.
America Ferrera, who plays Betty Suarez in the series, was spotted shooting scenes in New York yesterday without the character`s trademark braces and scraggly hair.
The actress is working on the final episodes of the series following ABC`s surprise announcement in January that the show was being axed.
The producers have been scrambling to give the character a fitting ending, and there were many hints on set that suggest the aspiring magazine writer may well be headed to the UK.
Ferrera was wearing a Union Jack dress while her co-star Becki Newton, who plays Amanda Tanen, was carrying a flag bag.
Ferrera had earlier admitted that she was struggling to come to terms with the programme coming to an end.
"I`m staying in denial for now, 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," said Ferrera.
‘Ugly Betty’ was initially hugely popular with viewers and was sold to around 50 countries around the world. But ratings fell for its latest run in both the UK and the US.
