22 years have passed since the first episode of “Yo soy Betty, la fea”, the hit Colombian soap opera that won Guinness Records, aired.
In the story we saw ‘Beatriz Pinzón Solano’ (played by Ana María Orozco) as a child and adolescent. Often she remembered how they made fun of her around where she lived, because she was always considered the ugliest.

In one of the scenes, ‘Betty’ imagines herself in her childhood and is proud of how far she has come.

Who played teen Betty?
Who brought ‘Betty’ to life was the actress and singer-songwriter Alejandra Botero. We used to know her as ‘Aleja’, but now she calls herself Âicen in her networks, which is also part of her name as a singer who started out as a teenager.
The artist in question recently shared several images on TikTok in which she acts with Ana María Orozco at the age of 12. Also with the remembered “Don Hermes” and “Román”, the latter the neighborhood villain who made fun of the ugly Betty. He told what those moments were like behind the scenes.

These days Âicen is exclusively concerned with music, but every now and then remembers the good days of recording. “Fool” was one of his most famous singles.
In addition, the young woman shares her talent through social networks, where she is usually very active with content about her career and her new topics. Also with some motivational phrases for the fans.

Even today, after so many years of recording (1999-2000), Betty, la fea, is one of the most popular novels in the country.

Along with other greats such as Pasión de gavilanes, it has always been one of the most watched.
Even, despite all the times, it has been repeated on television.
