It's a very emotional issue""I think Hispanic women are beautiful with their curves. I'm not sure who feels that way in Hollywood. I was never told to lose 50 pounds. If they think that they just don't bother with you. You just don't get the role and you never know why. That's still better than physically harming yourself and becoming unhealthy just to star in a movie."----------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------Where are they now (December 2005) Playing "CB's Sister" in the Off-Broadway play, "Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead", at the Century Center for the Performing Arts (New York, NY).(September 2006) Starring and playing the lead role in ABC's "Ugly Betty" (aka 'Betty La Fea' - USA) as 'Betty Suarez.'
