I want to see a picture of Ugly Betty's necklace


Search
: ugly betty; betty suarez

Why
: Cracked posted this picture of Anne Boleyn on their list of 5 Fictional Stories You Were Taught in History Class:
Answer: WHAT! How did I watch 4 whole seasons of "Ugly Betty" without knowing this?
Was everyone else on board with this except me? Maybe I should have watched that movie (or that show).

The More You Know
: Maybe they did that because Anne Boleyn allegedly:
not only sported six fingers, but she also rocked a snaggle tooth, jaundiced skin and a big ol' cyst on her neck that was probably a third nipple.
But she was actually totally norms.
When Anne's bones were exhumed in the late 1800s they found no evidence of any extra finger or breasts. Plus, none of her contemporaries who actually met her ever said she had six fingers or anything else horribly wrong with her body. The longest description we have of her physical appearance is from a Venetian ambassador who met Anne several times. The bitchy Italian described her as short with bad skin and droopy boobs. Ouch.
