María Elena Velasco, also known as La India María or María Nicolasa (born December 17, 1940 in Puebla, Mexico) is a famous Mexican actress and comedienne, and one of Mexico's few major female film directors. Not much about Velasco's private life has been open to the public eye; she prefers to be seen by the public as the character she usually plays in her movies: that of a countryside Indian who tries to make the most of what she has.
