1* ExecutiveMeddling: Brazilian actress Creator/TaisAraujo make a guest appearance AsHerself. When the soap was eventually bought by the Brazilian TV channel [=RedeTV!=], they wanted Tais to dub her own lines in Brazilian Portuguese. By that time, however, she was already working for a rival channel, [[Creator/{{TVGlobo}} Rede Globo]], which didn't authorize her to do it. Then, she was dubbed by voice actress Letícia Quinto.
2* FollowTheLeader: Even ignoring the {{Trans Atlantic Equivalent}}s; after the soap aired there was a boom of badly-planned soaps who tried to cash in the "non-pretty heroine". And ''Betty'' itself was halted and heavily reworked by its author because a soap named ''La mujer en el espejo'' (about an unpretty woman who becomes beautiful after a DealWithTheDevil) aired just before.
3* RealitySubtext: Ana María Orozco and Julian Arango, the actors who interpreted Betty and Hugo Lombardi respectively, were married in real life, but got divorced during the soap. Their respective characters were ideological opposites, and is believed that the bitterness both held for each other helped to make their confrontations more realistic.
4* ShootTheMoney: The episodes filmed in Cartagena de Indias were sure to shoot the scenery of the place for all its worth.
