Betty La Fea
Betty La Fea ("Ugly Betty" or "Betty the Ugly") was a popular telenovela filmed in Colombia. The show's main character, Beatriz Solano, is an unattractive but intelligent woman working for a small fashion design company. She constantly faces the scorn of her prettier workmates, but eventually she is promoted to a senior post, becomes involved with her boss and gets a makeover.
The show was popular and was aired to a wide international audience. Its success spawned a short sequel called Ecomoda, and even an animated series.
