The Colombian telenovela Betty La Fea became a global phenomenon since it first aired in 1999. This series tells the story of Beatriz Aurora Pinzon Solano alias Betty, a smart woman who is considered physically unattractive. With thick glasses, braces, and a nerdy appearance, Betty must face discrimination at her workplace but gradually proves that true beauty comes from the heart and intelligence.
Besides the character Betty, another character that equally steals the spotlight is Patricia Fernandez, the sassy secretary who always appears glamorous and loves to meddle in other people's affairs. This character is iconically portrayed by Lorna Cepeda.
