1961-1962
Manhattan’s 87th precinct forms the backdrop for this grim and gritty American crime and police drama based on the long-running series of novels by Ed McBain. The storylines focus on neighborhood crime, and the lives of the officers of the 87th and their families: Det. Steve Carella (Robert Lansing) and his deaf/mute wife; rookie Det. Bert Kling (Ron Harper); long-time veteran Det. Roger Havilland (Gregory Walcott) and the wryly philosophical Det. Meyer Meyer (Norman Fell).

Maria plays Mary, a shop clerk and reluctant eye witness to a murder, being interviewed by the detectives. Understandably she is rather worried about retribution from the mob and about having to go to court and testifying in public.
