S1E1 Pilot + Richard Shepard

Mark and Ana dig into the very first episode of Ugly Betty. The memories flow as they revisit all the iconic introductions, establishing the Suarez family dynamic, the incredible acting performances that stand the test of time, and the cultural attitudes (like body shaming) that definitely do NOT. Then, they speak to Pilot director Richard Shepard about going against his agent's advice, creating the look and feel of Ugly Betty, and the best audition he's ever seen (hint: Hilda!).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
