With the fourth season of "Ugly Betty" starting up, the MODE
crew will be joined by guest stars Lynn Redgrave (as a jewelry designer) and soon after
that, Kristen Johnston, the "3rd Rock From the Sun" alumna
whose most memorable recent role was,
... more coincidentally, as an aging scenester on
"Sex and the City." (The coincidence? Rumor has it that Johnston offers our
Amanda a peek into her own party-girl future.) Redgrave and Johnston are just
the latest stars to stop by the office, which has welcomed part-time players
from the A-list (Victoria Beckham, Salma Hayek) to, well, the C-plus list.
(Here's looking at you, Nikki Blonsky -- and a hex on your house for being so
mean to Betty last season.) Over the past three seasons, "Ugly Betty" has proved
ever more ecumenical than an actual fashion magazine would, inviting veteran
scene-stealers to mix with the young new things, much to the audience's benefit.
(Wilhelmina Slater slaying Kimmie Keegan? More, please!) This season, we can
also look forward to a guest turn from Shakira, for a special episode set in the
Bahamas, but, in the meantime, here's a look back at some of the most
fashionable drop-ins on "Ugly Betty." Close
