Migdia Chinea-Varela (a.k.a. Migdia Chinea, born August 5, 1947 in Coral Gables, Florida) is a Cuban-American screenwriter. She was a writer for the TV series The Incredible Hulk, The Facts of Life, Punky Brewster, and Superboy. She also guest appeared as Maria Fuentes, the younger sister of Julio Fuentes on the NBC-TV sitcom series Sanford and Son in the Season 3 episode titled "Watts Side Story".
In 1988 Chinea wrote an essay in Newsweek's "My Turn" column describing her experiences with minority quotas.
In 2012, Chinea graduated with a Master's in Film and Television (MFA) from the University of California, Los Angeles. She wrote and directed the short film Anonymous (Street Meat) as part of an experimental film course. The four minute film, which is based on her experiences with faulty mortgage foreclosure notices, was accepted to screen at the Cannes Short Film festival and earned an honorable mention at the California International Shorts Film Festival. Chinea hopes to be able to film a full length version.
