When casting the Hawkgirl character on "Justice League" (2001), the casting department looked for an actress with an accent, in order to make Hawkgirl sound more unique since she was an alien. Therefore Maria was chosen in part for her Hispanic accent. In addition to the voice of Hawkgirl, she also provided the voice of the Brazillian super-heroine Fire on Justice League Unlimited. Has two daughters. Is of Cuban descent. Her nephew, Ricky Canals, attended Dade Christian School in Unincorporated Miami Lakes, Florida, but now attends Barbara Goleman Senior High.
