FERRERA ACTED TO ESCAPE FIGHTING PARENTS

UGLY BETTY star AMERICA FERRERA used acting as a way to escape her parents' rows when she was a child.

And ironically, the actress, who plays frumpy fashion assistant BETTY SUAREZ in the hit show, feared she wasn't attractive enough to become a star.

Ferrera, 22, says, "I'd spend hours in my room blocking out my parents' screams by acting out plays in my head. Acting was all I ever wanted to do.

"I'd look in the mirror and cry thinking I was too fat. But today I feel beautiful and far from the ugly duckling I appear on screen."
