America is Woman of the Year

17:25 H | Topics: Celebrities - Entertainment

Ugly Betty herself, America Ferrera, has been named "Hispanic Woman of the Year" by the Hollywood Reporter and Billboard magazines:

Ferrera "is a leader for all women, but especially those in the Hispanic community," publisher John Kilcullen said in a statement.

He said the 23-year-old actress is "dedicated to advancing the position of Hispanics in television and film."

Why it's "woman of the year" and not "performer" or "actress" is a mystery to me. Oh well, America was apparently thrilled, saying at the Hispanic Women in Entertainment awards breakfast on Tuesday saying "It's an honor to be in such esteemed company." It's amazing all that America has achieved at such a young age. At only 23 years old, she's already won a SAG award, an Emmy and a Golden Globe.
