A BEAUTIFUL Chinese bar hostess — who romanced Richard Nixon and ignited an FBI spy probe — is now 95 and hiding out in a sun-splashed Los Angeles suburb, a special GLOBE investigation has discovered.
Mysterious Marianna Liu skipped out on her former home in Rosemead, Calif., another Los Angeles suburb, several years ago and is now keeping a low profile in nearby Arcadia, where GLOBE caught up with her.
On a recent afternoon, a GLOBE reporter approached her home and found her nephew changing a porch light.
He insisted Marianna was “in and out” and had gone on a cruise — but otherwise stubbornly refused to discuss her.
But GLOBE learned Marianna wasn’t as tight-lipped when she lived in Rosemead.
In a world exclusive interview, local actor Norman De Buck confided to GLOBE he’s lived on Marianna’s old street for the last 35 years — and once knew Nixon’s girlfriend and her family well.
De Buck told GLOBE that before she left, a relative of Marianna’s, who lived with her at the time, confirmed to him during casual conversation she had once had an affair with the ex-president.
He also recalled an episode, dating to roughly the ’80s, when the FBI blockaded the street and “cased the whole area.”
