I do tell people when I'm walking down the street that they should really rethink their whole outfit. Becki Newton outfitpeoplerethink Change image and share on social
I'm blessed that I can leave it to the pros at work and red-carpet events, because I can't say I'm adept. Still, I'm definitely not afraid to take chances when it comes to beauty. Becki Newton adeptafraidbeauty Change image and share on social
Normally, it's one or the other - a pretty, straight woman or a more charactery woman who isn't supposed to be attractive. But women like Tina Fey are leading the charge on being both. You can be funny and attractive. Becki Newton attractivecharacterycharge share on social
I really enjoy playing a sex symbol, but it's not something I feel in real life. I'm much more of a natural girl at home. Becki Newton enjoyfeelgirl Change image and share on social
I have a degree in European history, which didn't necessarily have any direct impact on my career, but I'm grateful I studied something other than acting in college. Becki Newton actcareercollege Change image and share on social
Growing up, I had a terrible pudding-bowl haircut. I used to cut it myself, and I'd sew my own clothing, too. I looked a little strange compared to the other kids. But the thing was, I felt I looked amazing, so what other people thought never bothered me. Becki Newton amazebotherbowl share on social
I started out a die-hard New Yorker but really grew to love working in Los Angeles. Even though I originally wanted to do theater, TV presented more opportunities for me, which led me out west. Becki Newton angelesdiegrow Change image and share on social
I keep my perfume in the fridge. If someone sees me in the morning pushing aside the eggs to grab my perfume, it might look a little odd, but it's so refreshing to spray cold fragrance on your skin. Becki Newton coldeggfragrance Change image and share on social
In N.Y.C., I auditioned for mostly 'quirky friend' roles. Since casting directors in L.A. lacked a preconceived notion of me, I was able to reinvent my type a bit, which was essential in booking the role of Amanda on 'Ugly Betty.' I don't believe I would have auditioned for that role in N.Y. Becki Newton amandaauditionbetty share on social
After leaving school, I travelled around Europe for about six months. In Denmark, I thought that was my chance to get an amazing haircut, so I went to what I thought was a great hairdresser. It turned out to be the car wash of hairdressers, and I walked out sporting yet another pudding bowl, but this time with a stripe bleached down the centre. Becki Newton amazebleachbowl share on social
