By MICHAEL CIDONI Associated Press Writer Article Launched: 08/21/2007 01:38:16 PM PDT LOS ANGELES—The cast and crew of "Ugly Betty" came out to celebrate. The occasion was this week's release of a first-season DVD, but the excitement stemmed mostly from being part of an instant hit, and looking ahead to its fall return. "It's nice, for me at least, to look back and think, 'Wow, this has been such an incredible year,'" series star America Ferrera told The Associated Press during Monday night's party. "There has been so much blood, sweat and tears of happiness and tiredness and joy and all of that put into it." A Hollywood adaptation of the Colombian telenovela "Yo Soy Betty La Fea," "Betty" swirls around a plain young woman who lands a job as assistant to a fashion-magazine editor. The show was an out-of-the-gate hit following its autumn 2006 debut on ABC, and has also scored well overseas. British actor Ashley Jensen ("Extras"), who plays Betty's workplace confidante Christina, said, "I think you can see a bit of Ugly Betty in all of us, and I mean men, as well, because it's about the underdog."
