America Ferrera - Betty Suarez

America Ferrera led the series as Betty, a recent college graduate from a struggling Latino family in Queens who lands a job at the prestigious fashion magazine Mode. The role launched the then 22-year-old actress into the spotlight, and she became the first Latin woman to win the Outstanding Lead Actress Award at the Emmys.

While America landed a number of movie roles following the end of the series, these days, she's back on television screens playing Amy in the hit sitcom Superstore.
