America Ferrera

Ferrera, the youngest of six siblings, was born in Los Angeles, California, to parents who emigrated to the United States from Honduras in the mid-1970s. Her mother is a hotel executive in charge of housecleaning staff. Later, her mom divorced her father and raised six kids – five girls, one boy – while stressing the importance of higher education. Five have graduated from college and America is working on earning her degree.

Ferrera is the youngest of six siblings which include one brother and four sisters. Her longterm boyfriend since college is Ryan Piers Williams. Williams is from Texas, and is an aspiring film director. In 2007 he was an assistant to director Steven Soderbergh. They first met while working on his student film at USC. Ferrera has repeatedly denied rumors that they are engaged. Rumors that they had split up in January 2008 were not denied but Ferrera and Williams attended the NAACP Awards together in February 2008. The two have been seen together throughout Spring 2008 out and about in California. In April 2008 they purchased a home together. They have two dogs — Buddy the Golden Retriever and a lady Great Dane.

Ferrera attends the University of Southern California, where she is majoring in International Relations; as of January 2007, she lacked only one semester’s coursework to earn her degree. She spent the autumn of 2004 studying in the American University Washington Semester Program and also attended New York University as a part of their Spring in New York program in the spring of 2006 while she was performing in Dog Sees God.

In January 2008, Ferrera announced her endorsement of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's run for president and joined the senator and her daughter Chelsea Clinton during several campaign events in Nevada and Pennsylvania. She has been quoted as saying that the United States should take responsibility for illegal immigration and provide more help to immigrants.

At the 2007 Independent Spirit Awards, Ferrera said that America won't be free until 2008 when George W. Bush leaves office.
