Maria Alice Monteiro de Campos Vergueiro (born January 19, 1935) is a Brazilian actress with an extensive career on stage, cinema, and television.
Born in São Paulo, her theatrical debut was in 1962 in the show The Mandrake ("A Mandrágora") under the direction of Augusto Boal.
She was the founder, along with Luiz Roberto GalÃzia and Cacá Rosset, of the Teatro do Ornitorrinco where she has appeared in various shows.
Recently she gained 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."
