[edit] I agree.
There is no proof that Maria has ever been given detention or has a unibrow. But she is Greek-American, she does speak Greek fluently (But not with an American accent), she is a big fan of all Boston teams, she is extremely ticklish, there are rumors about a relationship with Diesel, her dress at the 2004 Oscars were worth about 2.5 million, & she didn't know about ESC until she was asked to host it together with Sakis, as she's both born & raised in the U.S.
Also, she has mentioned that she was raised in poverty, even though Medford is a predominantly white, middle-class suburb of Boston, with an average income of 52.476$ a year, according to the 2000 census. But maybe Medford has been gentrified, like Harlem, maybe Medford was once a poor working-class community, with much more crime (According to http://www.city-data.com/city/Medford-Massachusetts.html the crime-rate according to the 2003 census was 170.2, just above half of the national crime-rate, which is 329.7. That's pretty low, & normal for a middle-class suburb) The inner-city Boston has much higher crime rate (According to http://www.city-data.com/city/Boston-Massachusetts.html the crime-rate is 559.8 according to the 2003 census).
According to the 2000 census, about 6,4% of Medford's population live below the poverty line, that must be about 3.500 people, but maybe there's a trailer park, a public housing project or some Section 8 area in Medford.

References convincing that Medford was once a poor working-class community, & that now it has been gentrified into a middle-class community instead:

[edit] Then I wonder who put up the unsourced trivia.
Some trivia are, in fact, sourced & true, but still I wonder who came up with that "Detention for going to a Red Sox game"-thing, but you shouldn't remove the sourced trivia & the external links, that's unecessary (I'm not from an English-speaking country, I hope I didn't spell wrong, I'm always having trouble trying to spell "necessary").
[edit] Shouldn't there be a biography about Maria?
Shouldn't there be a biography about Maria (For instance: Her childhood or personal life). It would be good to put up that information in this article, just in case there are enough sources about her childhood or personal life already.
[edit] Under Production
..it says she produced a film that was the first Indie Fairy tale. That's hardly believable and sounds like something you might find in a press release as fluff. I was a film buyer the year she is purported to have produced that, 1995, and I can assure you that there were independent films years before hers, both features and shorts, with storylines that could be considered fairy tales. Anyone can take out a film encyclopedia and discover the same truth. I guess it depends on your definition of "indie". Please fix this and/or make it more credible.
