America Ferrera Struggled With Teenage Fame

Ugly Betty star America Ferrera had a mini-nervous breakdown while appearing in her first movie, Gotta Kick It Up, because her acting dream wasn't what she thought it was going to be.

The Honduran-American actress was just 17 when she landed a role in the Disney TV movie and she admits the facts she suddenly had to balance her acting career and her real life took its toll on her nerves.

She says, "I just felt really empty. I had achieved my dream, and it wasn't totally fulfilling. I still had school problems, and I still had boy problems."

"My life was still my life. I guess I had been waiting to be turned into a swan."
