Sometimes, there's no other word. As an actress, so is extremely underrated. It's criminal that wooden planks like Kristen Stewart get all the attention when genuinely talented performers such as Becki get brushed aside.
As Amanda on Ugly Betty, Becki delivered some of my favourite moments from the entire programme. For example:
SERIES ONE
*Her telling Ignacio Suarez, who is from the Spanish speaking world, that 'Hola' is pronounced phonetically as opposed to without the 'H'.
*Her telling Mark's mother that Betty is his girlfriend in revenge for Mark telling the mother that she has a Cocaine addiction.
*Her 'acting' showreel. "That's your cue, Honey".
SERIES TWO
*Halston, Nick Pepper and the paper clip.
*Her and Nick Pepper getting it on during the Paintball fight for Meade Publications.
*"It's Mandy, bitch"
*Her enthusiastic "What's Hot" presentation of the Pizza Delivery uniform.
*Her interesting rendition of 'Milkshake' by Kelis during Bradford Meade's wedding to Wilhelmina Slater.
*Her giving a shout out to all of her 'fans' during the Mode-Elle Softball (Rounders in this country) match. Then Suzuki St. Pierre going, "who is that?".
SERIES THREE
*About Kimmie Keegan: "I don't like it when the masses get ideas, Mark! We need to keep an eye on that one".
*Her moving in with Betty.
*"It's something that affects us all - like Global Warning".
*"These things get passed down. They're generic".
SERIES FOUR
*Her daydream about kissing Matt Hartley turning into kissing Betty. The screams and then seeing Betty in the Hot Dog outfit and Matt looking for her after snapping out of it. "Mmm. Amanda, you're such a good kisser!" Lol.
*Her flashing the Rugby players in London. Us British men love nothing more than a blond American girl flashing her tits at us.
*Her in the entire last ever episode. "Look out, skinny bitches!"
Those are just a few examples of her greatness on Ugly Betty.
