Trivia
In the US, both the comedy-drama hit Ugly Betty and Televisa program La Fea Más Bella are based on the Colombian soap opera
The success of Yo soy Betty, la fea led to its first sequel in 2002 with Univision's release of Ecomoda
Betty la fea has been so successful that it has been either adapted and/or shown in many different countries
Ana María Orozco and Julián Arango were married and they went through a divorce during the run of the series
Beatriz Aurora Pinzon Solano (Betty), is an unattractive, but very intelligent woman working for the Eco Moda fashion design company. Betty constantly faces the scorn of her prettier workmates, but eventually is promoted to a senior job, becomes romantically involved with her boss, and receives a grooming makeover.
