Margaux Hemingway (February 19, 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 Chateau Margaux, but in later years, after giving up drinking alcohol, she spelled her name Margot. She struggled with a variety of disorders, including bulimia. She allowed a video recording to be made of a therapy session related to this disorder and it was broadcast on television.
In 1996, on the anniversary of her grandfather's suicide, Hemingway committed suicide in Santa Monica, California at age 41 by taking an overdose of sedatives. She was interred in the Ketchum Cemetery.
