Ugly Betty - Jamie-Lynn Sigler
You probably didn't recognize Jamie-Lynn Sigler at first on Ugly Betty. As Natalie, an eccentric woman whose boyfriend recently overdosed, she wears a spiky black wig, purple lipstick, tattoos and outfits that might charitably be called "layered." Natalie meets Daniel Meade (Eric Mabius), who is mourning the death of his wife, Molly, in a bereavement group and eventually ends up working at Mode magazine. Sigler tells TVGuide.com what she thinks of Natalie's look, with whom she'll share screen time, and exactly what the Community of the Phoenix is.
