 +From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 +Mariel Hadley Hemingway (born November 22, 1961 in Mill Valley, California, USA) is an American actress. She is the granddaughter of Ernest Hemingway and sister of Margaux Hemingway.
 +
 + Biography
 +
 +Mariel Hemingway grew up primarily in Ketchum, Idaho, where her father Jack Hemingway had a farm 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.
 +
 +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 was probably 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 1983, she starred as Dorothy Stratten in *Star 80*, a film about the Playboy star's life and murder. For that role, Hemingway had her breasts enlarged, but she had the implants removed in 2001 after one of them ruptured. In the 1982 movie *Personal Best*, she played a bisexual athlete in a movie noted for some explicit (by mainstream standards) lesbian love scenes.
 +
 +The fact that Mariel Hemingway starred in film or television shows (including an infamous episode of the sitcom *Roseanne* in which she kissed Roseanne Barr on the lips and an episode of *Crossing Jordan* on November 18, 2002) in which she was featured as a lesbian or had lesbian scenes has led to some speculation as to whether she is herself a lesbian, although she is not. Hemingway herself made fun of her lesbian persona in her monologue on Saturday Night Live during the September 30, 1995 episode that she hosted where she kisses the new female castmembers while giving viewers a tour behind the scenes of Studio 8-H.
 +
 +In reality, 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).
 +
 + Trivia
 +
 +She was named after the Cuban port of (Mariel, Cuba) - a village that her father and grandfather visited regularly as sportsmen to fish. Mariel is also the location of an organised mass exodus of Cubans in 1980.
 +
 +Her middle name is after her grandmother Elizabeth Hadley Richardson Hemingway.
 +
 +She has a perfume "Mariel" by H2O+.
 +
 +Mariel was featured in newly discovered deleted footage, which was shown in a very rough edit with unfinished visual effects, from *Superman IV: The Quest For Peace* and was released on DVD in November 2006 as a Deluxe Edition and as part of The Ultimate Superman Collection. The footage was included as "Additional Scenes" but wasn't in the main feature, which ran for 134 minutes in the original screening edit. The final release was released at a mere 89 minutes. Mariel had more scenes with Christopher Reeve [Superman] Gene Hackman [Lex Luthor], Mark Pillow [Nuclear Man] and Jon Cryer [Lenny Luthor] in pivotal scenes as the character Lacy Warfield. She also had the opportunity to do some blue screen work with Christopher in scenes not in the final cut.
