Competent actress, granddaughter of Ernest Hemingway and younger sister of actress/model Margaux Hemingway, Mariel was almost destined to a life in the public eye.

She donned the producer's hat while appearing in The Suicide Club (1987), and increasingly turned to television in the 1990s, starring in the series Civil Wars (1991–93), Central Park West (1995), and as Maria Shriver in the TV movie, See Arnold Run (2005).
