玛葛·海明威
(1954)
Margaux Hemingway
演员
Born in Portland, Oregon, she grew up in on a farm in Ketchum, Idaho.
But dad was Jack Hemingway, son of the Nobel prize-winning author Ernest Hemingway and,
with that heritage, fame was almost foreordained. By the time she was
21, after the lead in the rape melodrama Lipstick (1976), she had a budding
movie career, a $1 million promotional contract with Faberge perfume,
and her face on magazine covers around the world. But, within the
decade, it was all lost. Her sister Mariel Hemingway, whose role in Lipstick (1976) had
been suggested by Margaux, was a much greater success. Margaux had started
drinking heavily; two marriages had failed. In 1988, she checked
herself into the Betty Ford Center for rehabilitation. Attempts to parley
her recovery from alcohol into a revived career failed and, by the time
she was 41, almost nothing was left. She lived alone in a studio
apartment, no children, no lover, few friends. Neighbors informed
police that she had not been seen for days and, on July 1, they entered
through a 2nd-floor window. Dental records had to be used to confirm
her identity.
