Salma Hayek is returning to her telenovela roots with a one-hour project for ABC, an American version of the phenomenally successful Latin American soap opera Betty La Fea. Oscar-nominated Hayek has joined forces with Ben Silverman to executive produce the show -- which has received a script commitment from the network -- through their companies Ventanarosa and Reveille. Kerry Ehrin has been tapped to pen the pilot script for Touchstone Television, which has come on board to produce with Ventanarosa and Reveille. In Betty La Fea, or Ugly Betty, Betty is an unattractive and unpopular but very efficient assistant at a fashion design company who falls in love with her handsome boss. Starring Ana Maria Orozco, the telenovela became a sensation in Colombia during its 1999-2001 run, when it aired every weeknight.
