that's *really* cool. That doesn't happen every day!

i agree neural. i just don't understand why they cast rebecca romijn. the show is already a success without her.

I agree that they didn't really need Rebecca Romijn, it just seems off because originally the woman who was the former editor was supposed to have been around Mode for a lot longer, making her a heck of a lot older than Rebecca, they must be taking it in a different direction I guess, but it didn't make sense to me.

That's wonderful, but I'm latino and never really thought about it as being anything more than a great show. Maybe that's the win right there, "the fact that I don't view because there's a latina in the role." I watch simply because it's good tv."

I think Rebecca Romijn's part in the show could be because the woman in the mask had extensive plastic surgery after the accident and is disguising herself or something like that. I'm certain there has to be a twist; the writers aren't that dense to go back on the storyline. ??

That is so awesome! Congrats to her!

i always got judith light confused with joanna kerns from "growing pains". god i am such a child of the '80s!

EdwinaTheLovely,

I think the reason the Congresswoman bothered to laud Ferrera and the show is that prior to this program, there really haven't been any positive female Hispanic role models on television. Unfortunately, there haven't really been any positive Hispanic role models on TV or in movies, period.

I know what you mean about not watching a show simply because the actors/actresses are of a certain ethnic group. That doesn't influence my likelihood of watching shows.

Ahh, she is a sweetheart. I'm happy for her and her successes.

the age difference will probably be explained in the show but i just don't think rebecca romijn's a good actress. hopefully this role be like her role as mystique- minimal lines.

America is so deserving of all the kudos she's been given lately. I've been a fan ever since I saw her in Real Women Have Curves. She's a great actress and I wish her continued success.

So great for America. I would LOVE her to be America's New Sweetheart
Preppy to the max!

i like her too & i'm glad her show is doing so well and that people are embracing her. i think she's a great role model. i totally agree with you, themexcellentone

That is awesome. Good for America.

This certainly doesnt happen a lot. I love America and everything she said about her was so true. I hope she wins Golden Globes and Emmys for years to come.

I am so happy for her success I LOVE Ugly Betty!

Themexcellentone, there have been many hispanic characters on tv and in movies. I think America is a great actress, and the show is fun, but I don't think that people should support a show simply because of the race of the characters/actors.

There are many hispanic characters all over tv. Immediately coming to mind are Dexter, CSI Miami, Six Feet Under, Desperate Housewives, ...I could go on all day. The bottom lines is, while Latinos are under represented by a small percentage, they are not excluded or avoided in tv and film.

shes so sweet! I remember when I first saw her on tv a couple years ago on the Disney channel movie "Gotta Kick it Up" haha

Lurve her and "Ugly Betty"!

hooray for America!!!

That is awesome. America is fantastic. I love what this show is all about.

I cabn't wait to see this show when it starts here in Australia.

Alrighty then.
Back to work!

I think rebecca romijn's character is supposed to be the brother who supposedly died on teh slopes, but actually got plstic surgery to become a "woman"?

Good for her, shes awesome!

I love the show and love her-congrats. I think the show promotes more of "there are more important things than just looks". Being a postive role model is what should matter most.

Go Betty!

I love the show and I love last night's twist. I cant believe that RRS is playing Alex!
