 An online video interview with People Magazine!

Born in Los Angeles and raised in Lynwood with three brothers and two sisters, Maria Rangel wanted to be a writer.  Financial constraints forced her to rethink this goal and she turned to her vaudevillian roots.

Perseverance in a industry known for its lack of roles for minorities -- much less female minorities -- won her parts in soap operas, specifically, Days of our Lives and General Hospital. This gave her a chance to break into nighttime dramas, and movies including "A Million to Juan".

Often compared to Vanessa Marcil and Linda Fiorentino, Maria currently lives in Southern California and is seeking new challenges on screen and on stage.
