Juliette Goglia is AWESOME!!

I loved her as little girl God on Joan of Arcadia, enjoyed her in her recurring role on Desperate Housewives, loved, loved, loved her as Heather opposite Jason Dohring's Logan on Veronica Mars and now she just gave me a new reason to think she totally rocks. I was watching Ugly Betty and saw her name in the credits, but forgot to look for her as the show played out. Well, I decided to rewatch the ending tonight and it hit me! AHA! She's the girl playing Maria ... and considering it sounds like her speaking voice, quite, quite likely SINGING as Maria also in the show's final lines and sounding utterly, hauntingly divine doing so.

Totally awesome. And now I want to hear a whole recorded version of West Side Story with Mark Indelicato (Justin) and Juliette Goglia, never mind that she's white and he's hispanic because they both were just wonderful!

OMG - really? Was that her? Her voice was wonderful. Wow! The singing was so haunting and beautiful and it just sealed the deal on the heartbreaking final moments.

Thanks for posting this. Wow. Talented child.

Yup. When I rewatched, I looked closely and realized that she couldn't be anywhere else. I had looked closely in the girl scout scene and she was not there, so it had to be her and if you still have it and can rewatch it, it totally is her. Cool.

Hee! I actually thought of you when I posted this, so I'm glad you saw it.

I remember thinking at the time that the little girl is just as impressive as Mark was and wondering who is that but then I caught up in the Hilda collapsing and forgot to look.
