Maria Alice Monteiro de Campos Vergueiro (19 January 1935 – 3 June 2020) was a Brazilian actress with an extensive career on stage, cinema, and television.
In 2006 she gained renewed fame for the short film Tapa na Pantera, directed by Esmir Filho, Mariana Bastos and Rafael Gomes, in which she plays a woman who has smoked marijuana for 30 years and talks about her experiences with the drug, a character based on the actress' own experiences. The short became a success in less than a week when it was posted on YouTube without the permission of the authors.
In the theater scene of São Paulo, she is known as "Dama do Underground" or "Velha Dama Indigna."
Vergueiro died from pneumonia and COVID-19 on 3 June 2020, in São Paulo.[1][2]
