Maria is one of the models to appear at a fall fashion show in the Crystal Room of the Beverly Hills Hotel for the club season opening of the Los Angeles Jewish Home for the Aged.
Maria is listed as a cast member for the Summer Romance episode of Bachelor Father (Season 5 Episode 22) set to be broadcast that evening.
This article is a prime example for much of what was wrong in the 1950s. Allen Rich, real-life sleazy creep and the author of this piece, is, with all due respect, which is close to none, oozing sexism, exoticism and various other unpleasant -isms from every pore. I can’t imagine what it must have been like for Maria to endure this man for the length of an entire interview.
Maria was one of two New Year’s princesses of New Chinatown in 1958, alongside Lisa Lu. Together with Chester Kuan, president of the New Chinatown Chamber of Commerce, they visited Undersheriff Pete Pitchess to wish him a happy new year.
