英语文摘：Production of ABC's "Ugly Betty" moves to Manhattan

BEIJING, May 14 -- Production of television's "Ugly Betty" is moving to New York.

    The announcement was made Monday by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Governor David Paterson and ABC Studios President Mark Pedowitz. They say the show will take advantage of a 35 percent tax credit from the city and state when it makes the move from Los Angeles.

This photo released by ABC shows actress America Ferrera as Betty in a scene from the 'East Side Story' episode of 'Ugly Betty.' California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says California must increase tax incentives to keep film and television productions in Hollywood, after the studio behind the hit show 'Ugly Betty' announced it was moving production to New York.

"Ugly Betty" stars Emmy winner America Ferrera as Betty Suarez, a young woman from the city's borough of Queens who works for a fashion magazine.

    The comedy will be filmed in Manhattan and Queens. It is expected to create more than 200 full and part-time jobs.

    "Law & Order," "30 Rock" and "Gossip Girl" are filmed in Manhattan.

    ABC is owned by The Walt Disney Co.
