Becki Newton Is Certainly No 'Ugly Betty'

Actress Becki Newton plays Amanda Tanen on the popular ABC show Ugly Betty, which airs
Thursdays at 8pm. Newton's co-star Ralph Macchio (Archie Rodriguez) also stopped by the studio recently.
The show is about Betty Suarez (America Ferrera) who works at high-fashion magazine Mode but is still trying to prove herself in this fast-paced world. Amanda is one of Betty's co-workers.
A native of Connecticut, Newton's acting credits include August Rush, American Dreams and Charmed. She is married to The Starter Wife actor Chris Diamantopoulos. They met each other on the subway and hit it off from there.
