America Ferrera is touched by the reaction to her role on Ugly Betty.

"I did a magazine cover and the editor sent me some of the letters they received," Ferrera explained. "One of the girls wrote, 'I never felt beautiful until I saw Ugly Betty and now I can call myself beautiful'. When you hear something like that, it makes it worth it.

"I feel so proud to be a good influence and a role model, but it's hard to see yourself the way other people do. I just think, 'Am I really that influential?' I'd better start finding out what I can do with all this influence I'm supposed to have."
