Margaux Hemingway , May 1990Margaux Hemingway (February 16, 1955 – July 2, 1996) was a film actress and model who appeared in several movies. She was born in Portland, Oregon, the sister of actress Mariel Hemingway and the granddaughter of writer Ernest Hemingway. She grew up on her grandfather's farm in Ketchum, Idaho.

Hemingway was named for the famous Bordeaux vineyard Château Margaux, but in later years, after giving up drinking alcohol, she spelled her name Margot. She struggled with a variety of disorders in addition to alcoholism, including bulimia and epilepsy. She allowed a video recording to be made of a therapy session related to her bulimia and it was broadcast on television. She supported herself later in life by autographing her nude photos from Playboy Magazine, and working on a psychic telephone hotline. She enjoyed yoga and meditation.

On July 2, 1996, on the 35th anniversary of her grandfather's suicide, Hemingway was found dead in Santa Monica, California at age 41. She had taken an overdose of phenobarbitol, according to the Los Angeles County coroner's findings one month later. Though her death was ruled a suicide, her sister Mariel disputes this finding. Mariel's husband, Steve Crisman, said, "This was the best I'd seen her in years. She had gotten herself back together." Her remains were cremated and Margaux was inurned in the Hemingway family plot in the Ketchum Cemetery in Ketchum, Idaho.
