Maria Richwine (born Maria Agudelo, June 22, 1952 in Cali, Colombia) is a Colombian-American actress who was also the first Latina Playboy Bunny.
Her first movie role was as Buddy Holly's wife Maria, in the 1978 biopic movie The Buddy Holly Story. Her performance received positive reviews.[1] Newsweek critic David Ansen commented, "Her attractive performance suggests complexities of character that the script fails to explore."[2] She was a regular on Norman Lear's 1984 series a.k.a. Pablo, and also appeared in the television series Three's Company, Sledge Hammer!,[3] and Freddy's Nightmares.
