It wasn’t easy for Ana Ortiz to finally hit it big time.

In the new issue of Latina, she says, “Overnight success is 10 years of getting rejected…

You don’t know how many times I heard from an agent, ‘Gosh, Ana is such a good actress, but for this role, we need someone who is drop-dead gorgeous.”

Don’t worry Ana - you are drop-dead goreous!

Talk about a successful blind date!

“I was like, ‘Look, I want to get married and I want to have kids, and I want to do it relatively soon,’” says Ortiz in Latina.

“So if you’re interested, it’s been a really fun night.’”

According to Ortiz, Noah Lebenzon “kept his cool, drove her home, walked her to the door and went on his way.”

“I woke up the next day mortified,” says Ortiz. “I can’t believe I said that. He didn’t even blink…and he’s been calling my bluff ever since.”

Yes, of course, they got married!

“I’m looking forward to starting family,” says Ana Ortiz in the new issue of Latina.

“The day after I got engaged, ” she says America [Ferrera] was like, ‘When are you getting pregnant?  I want there to be a baby around the set.’”
