Diane: Okay, maybe I do escape to the movies more often than I should, but this is your movie, Betty?
Betty Suarez: It is?

Wonderful cast

I loved the end of the season but it was heart wrenching for Santos Fans to see him get shot and Killed. Ana was awesome at her breakdown moment it looked real.Ugly Betty is a good role model for young girls. The show says that you don't have to be pretty to be successful in the real world. I just turned on the TV and saw a show that looked interesting so I rewound it and started to watch it from the beginning and 15 minutes later I was hooked.The cast did a great job all season and I can't wait to see if Santos is really dead. If he is Everyone is going to cry in their seats. Awesome job on the show and I hope the next season is even better.
