Background
Mariel Hemingway was born on November 22, 1961, in Mill Valley, California, United States. She is the daughter of Byra Louise Whittlesey and Jack Hemingway, a fly fisherman, conservationist, and writer. Ernest Hemingway, a renowned novelist, short-story writer, journalist, and sportsman, was her paternal grandfather.

Education
Mariel spent most part of her early life in Ketchum, Idaho, as her father lived there. As for her education, she graduated from Boston University. Also, Mariel studied acting with Harold Guskin.
Mariel made her acting debut together with her sister, Margaux, starring as real-life sisters in the film Lipstick (1976). Mariel's performance as Kathy McCormick was well-appreciated and earned a Golden Globe Award nomination in "New Star of the Year - Actress" category. The same year, she played the lead role of Sue Ann Cunningham in the television drama film I Want to Keep My Baby.
The most important role in Mariel's career came with Woody Allen's romantic comedy Manhattan in 1979. She starred with Allen, Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep, Michael Murphy, and Anne Byrne. The film became a huge critical and commercial success. It is often counted among the best films of Allen. Mariel's remarkable portrayal of Tracy, a high school student and lover of Allen's character, Isaac Davis, at just 16 years of age, fetched her an Academy Award nomination for "Best Supporting Actress" apart from a BAFTA nomination for "Best Actress in a Supporting Role."
Later, in the 1982 drama film Personal Best, Mariel appeared as bisexual track-and-field athlete Chris Cahill. That film also starred Scott Glenn and real-life track star Patrice Donnelly. The film received critical acclaim and received attention for its lesbian love scenes. Mariel's association with the film led her to pose nude in Playboy's April issue that year. She made it to the cover of the magazine.
During the following years, Mariel appeared in such films, as Star 80 (1983), Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987), Deconstructing Harry (1997), The Contender (2000) and Archie's Final Project (2009), among many others. The television series she appeared in include Civil Wars (1991-1993) and Central Park West (1995-1996).
The television movies she acted in are September (1996), See Arnold Run (2005), Rise of the Zombies (2012) and Finding Fortune (2016), among others.
Mariel was part of the Barbara Kopple directed television documentary film Running from Crazy. The film chronicled through the eyes of Mariel the story of Mariel, Joan and Margaux and their struggles with their family's history of suicide, substance abuse and mental illness. In the film, Mariel also spoke on abusive incidents that occurred in her childhood; her bouts of mental illness; and the way Margaux's suicide continued to haunt her. Produced by Oprah Winfrey Network, the film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 7, 2013.
As of 2021, Mariel is the host of Spiritual Cinema, a monthly television show dedicated to spiritual films. She also hosts a series of yoga practice videos Yoga Now, with guru Rodney Yee.

Politics
Mariel isn't a big fan of celebs, who use their fame to hop on the political trail. She once said: "I don't like that. I mean, I'm not well-versed enough in anybody's positions to really do something." When she heard Roseanne Barr announce early in 2012 that she was seeking the Green Party's nomination in the presidential race, Hemingway exclaimed: "I'm following her on Twitter and I'm like, 'Are you kidding me?'". Hemingway believes that the moves like that "take away from somebody who might actually get in, saying, "But God bless her, she has a passion for green and the environment and I love that. What's disturbing about that is the idea that you think that you're actually going to make a difference when it's hard, especially as a celebrity, it's like hard to be taken seriously anyway. I mean, she's Roseanne. It's like, she's a comedienne."
Views
Mariel Hemingway is a health advocate, who has spent a lifetime, studying how mental and physical health are linked. Her work is focused on what to do to transform negative messages and influences into healing, which becomes radiant energy, full of purpose and balance.
Mariel signed environmental activist Tom Weis' open letter, calling on then-President Obama and then-Governor Romney to withdraw their support for the Keystone XL pipeline.
Mariel practices grounding. Every day she spends at least 40 minutes barefoot on the ground. She admits that it has been a great teacher for her. She was introduced to it by her life partner Bobby. She also practices Transcendental Meditation.
Quotations:
"Finding some quiet time in your life, I think, is hugely important."
"Everybody needs a way out of that pain. Many people choose drugs and alcohol. Some people obsessively exercise or develop strange dietary habits, which is what I did. At least it got me toward a path of healthier living."
"A lot of exercise is mindless; you can have music or the radio on and not be aware. But if you're aware of anything you do - and it doesn't have to be yoga - it changes you. Being present changes you."
"I think that growth and spiritual awareness come in slow increments. Sometimes you don't know it's happening."
"You have to have a little faith in people."
"If you don't step across the threshold of what you already know into the world of challenges, you never truly measure yourself."
"I enjoy making things that are different. It makes for a better career. I don't want to do the same thing twice. I love the different roles I've played. I don't ever want to be pigeonholed! That's the great thing about acting - all these different people I can play, as long as audiences are willing to see them. The more different roles I do, the more different roles I will get."
Personality
Mariel adores mountain lakes, especially Alice Lake in the Idaho Sawtooth mountain range. She absolutely loves the mountains and the lakes and streams that flow through them.
The actress was named after the Cuban port of Mariel, which was a favorite fishing spot of her father and grandfather.
