Early Life
Mariel Hemingway was born on November 22, 1961 in Mill Valley, California as the third daughter of Byra and writer Jack. Her sisters are Joan and the late Margaux, who was an actress and model. Notably, her grandparents were renowned author Ernest Hemingway and his first wife Hadley Richardson. Named after the Cuban port of Mariel, Hemingway grew up mostly in Ketchum, Idaho, where her father lived and her grandfather had spent much time during his life and career. As a young adult, she attended Boston University.
Film Breakthroughs
Both Mariel and her sister Margaux made their film debuts in the 1976 revenge thriller "Lipstick." Margaux starred as a fashion model who's raped by her sister's music teacher; Mariel played her sister. The film also featured Anne Bancroft and Chris Sarandon. "Lipstick" was poorly received by critics, who decried it for being cheap and exploitative. Much more warmly greeted was Hemingway's next film, the 1979 romantic dramedy "Manhattan," written and directed by star Woody Allen. She played Tracy, a high school student who becomes romantically involved with Allen's character Isaac Davis. For her performance, Hemingway received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
After "Manhattan," Hemingway landed her first leading role in Robert Towne's 1982 sports drama "Personal Best." She starred as a track-and-field athlete named Chris Cahill, whose lesbian relationship with her teammate, played by real-life track star Patrice Donnelly, puts her athletic career into jeopardy. Hemingway had another leading role the next year in Bob Fosse's biographical drama "Star 80," in which she portrayed slain Playboy Playmate Dorothy Stratten. Hemingway starred alongside Eric Roberts, Cliff Robertson, and Carroll Baker, among others.
