FERRERA: ‘I GREW FROM MY CHILDHOOD TRAUMA’
UGLY BETTY star AMERICA FERRERA credits the break-up of her parents’ marriage to her success as an actress.
The Emmy award-winner hasn’t seen her father since he left the family home when she was a child - but Ferrera insists his departure inspired her to better herself.
She tells British Marie Claire, "It wasn’t easy, but as a kid you find ways to make sense of it. I remember just bits and pieces of that time in my life, but I do remember being so incredibly matter-of-fact.
"It wasn’t until I was older that I thought, ‘Damn, I never really grieved over that.’ And there have been male figures in my life who provided that kind of fatherhood for longer than he was ever in my life."
