Biography

Mariel Hemingway grew up primarily in Ketchum, Idaho, where her father Jack Hemingway lived, and where her grandfather Ernest Hemingway also spent a great deal of time as a sportsman and writer. Ernest and Margaux Hemingway are both buried in the Ketchum cemetery. She never met her grandfather, who died several months before she was born.
In addition to Ketchum, Mariel spent part of her adolescence growing up in New York and Los Angeles.
Her first role was with her sister Margaux in the 1976 film ''Lipstick''. The movie was not considered especially good, but Mariel did receive notice for the quality of her acting, and she was nominated as "Best Newcomer" for the Golden Globes Award that year.
Hemingway's most famous role is as Tracy in Woody Allen's ''Manhattan'', in which she plays the high school lover of Isaac (Woody Allen). Only seventeen at the time, she was nominated for an Oscar for best supporting actress.
In the 1982 movie ''Personal Best'', she played a bisexual athlete in a movie noted for some explicit (by mainstream standards) lesbian love scenes. In 1983, she starred as Dorothy Stratten in ''Star 80'', a film about the ''Playboy'' model's life and murder. For that role, Hemingway had her breasts enlarged. Her implants were later removed in 2001 after one of them ruptured.
Mariel Hemingway has played a lesbian in several film or television shows in which she starred, including ''Personal Best'', an infamous episode of the sitcom ''Roseanne'' in which she kissed Roseanne Barr on the lips, and an episode of ''Crossing Jordan''. This has led to some speculation as to whether she is herself a lesbian. Hemingway herself made fun of her reputation for lesbian roles in her monologue on ''Saturday Night Live'' during the September 30, 1995 episode that she hosted, where she kisses the new female cast members while giving viewers a tour behind the scenes of Studio 8-H. Although not gay in real life she has been a long time supporter of gay rights. ^[1]
Hemingway has been married since December 9, 1984 to writer and director Stephen Crisman, and they have two daughters: Dree (b. 1987) and Langley (b. 1989).
Mariel is also the author of the 2006 self-help book titled "Mariel Hemingway's Healthy Living from the Inside Out: Every Woman's Guide To Real Beauty, Renewed Energy, and a Radiant Life". Her official website is http://www.marielhemingwayshealthyliving.com
