Maria Elena
United Press International · October 31, 1967
Buenos Aires: Argentina's "sleeping beauty," 17-year-old Maria Elena Tello, continues in the coma from which she has awakened only once in four years. The girl lapsed into a coma on Nov. 23, 1963, on hearing of the assassination of President Kennedy. She was recently flown to Buenos Aires from her home town of San Martin, in San Juan Province, for examination by medical specialists in the Argentine capital. Her mother said she opened her eyes briefly on Good Friday of 1964 and spoke a few words before falling back into the coma.
