Real Women Have Curves
Ferrera made her feature film debut in the 2002 comedy-drama, which co-starred the late Lupe Ontiveros (Selena) as Ferrera’s overbearing mother. In one scene, Ferrera’s character, Ana Garcia, is so hot in the sweatshop where she works with her mom and sister, she decides to take off her shirt. Her mother then criticizes her body.
