America Ferrera Honored by the US House of Representatives

It's not every day that the US House of Representatives takes notice of a sitcom star, but they recently did just that. Ugly Betty's America Ferrera was honored for raising the profile of Latinos in America. Rep. Hilda L. Solic said, "Through her work, Ms. Ferrera is breaking down barriers for Latinos in prime-time television." Good for her.
