00:22Number 10. Ana Maria Orozco as Betty. I am Betty the ugly.
00:28We can't start this ranking without mentioning the iconic telenovela of the transformation.

00:47To achieve the character and the stereotype of what at the time would be an ugly woman,
00:52she was made up with a more pale base than her skin tone, she had mustaches and brackets.
00:58The change was such that we could not recognize the actress on screen when we saw her as Betty.
01:04Obviously, the performance and the gestures completed the look of the character.
01:09But if we are going to talk about Betty, we can't stop mentioning Letty
01:13in the Mexican adaptation of the telenovela La Fea Más Bella.
01:18Do you like Don Fernando?
01:20Angélica Vale also has an impressive transformation on screen, becoming unrecognizable in the character.
01:28I had to copy all the talk of Betty.
01:31But I never knew how to do it right.
01:34Because, I mean, I didn't see her that much.
01:37Number 9. Francisco Angelini as Nacho Montero.

02:38leaving his long hair, mustache, and using post-disease pills.
02:43And what makes you think I want to do business with you, man?
02:46That's good for us, right?
02:48Do you know who you're talking to, son?

03:51And there he lived until death.
03:54In addition, Antonio Banderas had to shave his head and shave his eyebrows.
03:59He underwent 5 hours of makeup to achieve the characteristic features of the painter before each shoot.
