As the granddaughter of illustrious author, Ernest Hemingway, Mariel was always destined to be well-known and publicly recognized. However, at the young age of 13, Mariel became famous in her own right when she made her silver screen debut in "Lipstick". Four years later her work in Woody Allen's "Manhattan" earned her an Oscar nomination. She has since made 30 films and numerous television appearances in series and as a host of several environmental and humanitarian documentaries.

Now at the age of 50, Mariel is the mother of two daughters, Dree 24 and Langley 23. For over 20 years, she has been pursuing her passion for yoga and health and is now seen as a voice of holistic and balanced health and well- being. As part of that role, she has leads wellness retreats all over America, sharing her insights about movement, silence, nutrition, and home. In 2003, she published her powerful bestselling memoir, Finding My Balance, a truly insightful and inspiring story, of her life's journey through the eyes of yoga and meditation. Mariel's second book called "Mariel Hemingway's Healthy Living from the Inside Out" is a how-to guide to finding optimal health through self-empowering lifestyle techniques. Her latest book is a gluten free sugar free cookbook called Mariel's Kitchen.

Mariel's passion is her love of the outdoors...connecting with nature and becoming younger through food, breath exercise and nature. She has partnered with Robert Williams an eco adventurer  in a new book and lifestyle company called The "Willingway".
