Margaux Hemingway's End Was An American Tragedy

With a face like hers, Margaux Hemingway was born to be a model…but she also inherited a much darker legacy from her ancestors. The granddaughter of infamously volatile writer Ernest Hemingway, Margaux and her entire family were plagued by the so-called “Hemingway Curse” running through their veins. Many of them met tragic ends-but none were as tragic as Margaux’s.

Sad news. I knew her and her husband, Bernard. They would come over for dinner parties my dad would host. Margaux was nice but used to getting her way, even in conversations about things outside her expertise. Bernard was lovely with a wry sense of humor. Their family owned a yacht, the "Mauretania" in Marina del Rey, docked next to my dad's 50' Gulf Star, the "Poltergeist". That's where the friendship between our families began. They lived a life of excess made possible due in great part to royalties from their grandfather's writings. So, not a curse. Just 1980s excess.

[@biondna7984]

Referring to multi-generational addiction and parental abuse as a "curse" only helps keep solid information and realistic therapies for mental health out of reach. It wasn't about being a "Hemingway." It was about the neglect of her parents and their modeling alcohol abuse as a way to deal with pain. Addiction and other self-destructive behaviors happen to many families, whether famous, beautiful, wealthy, or not.

I met her once at Henri Bendel, a legendary store on 57th Street in NYC. I worked in the mailroom downstairs, but I happened to be on the first floor when she was in the store. I'm six-one and either she was six-one or wearing -- or not wearing -- shoes that made us exactly the same height, so our eyelines were at exactly the same level, an experience I had never had before while standing beside a woman. In fact she had gorgeous eyes and an attractively raspy voice. I'm sorry her life ended as it did -- but if the term "supermodel" had yet to be coined, she certainly embodied it. She was on the cover of "Time" magazine at the acme of her modeling career, and to be on the cover of "Time" was, in those days, a big, big deal.

I remember seeing where the paparazzi had filmed Margaux attending a bull fight in Spain. She was all smiles. But she did not know that the bull would be killed at the end. I will never forget her face when she broke down at the horror of seeing the bull killed. She was a very sensitive person. She really should not have been in the cutthroat worlds of modeling and Hollywood. She loved animals. She would have been much better off using her famous name to help animals. I believe that would also have been healing for her and steered her away from substance abuse and people who just wanted to use her for what they could get. RIP beautiful Margaux. ❤🙏🌹

THERE IS such a thing as a curse. Just not in this instance. Most American Caucasians are extremely naive to the ways of life and the ways of the universe. As a result, many families who have everything good, have the worst kids. You invite people into your homes who are heavily into spirit worship and black magic who also envy you. I used to work as a nanny, I've seen many events like such. I prayed over and saved the children I cared for. But the parents were so dumb and naive. I'd warn them, but they had no clue.AND IT'S USUALLY FAKE FRIENDLY FACED PEOPLE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES OF ALL RACES THAT I'VE SEEN DO THIS. Not Americans.

She was so stunning. You have amazing pictures and clips in here. You forgot one of the biggest things about her that she is known for. She signed a million dollar contract with Faberge’ as a spokesperson for Babe perfume back in the ‘70s, and was the first model to ever be awarded such a lucrative contract. Also, her sister Joan who is known as “Muffet” is still alive. She did not commit suicide, but has been institutionalized for decades due to mental illness. Further, Mariel has said that she is certain their father sexually abused both Margot and Joan and the mother knew it. I believe Margot also discussed this publicly. Mariel said the mother used to have her sleep in bed with her, and Mariel believes that she did this so he would not sexually abuse her. Very tragic story. The documentary Running From Crazy by Mariel is really good if anyone is interested in more about Margot, Joan and Mariel and the family’s struggles with mental illness.

Often the truth about why someone is so tormented is quite hidden and the biggest secret of their lives. It's not that uncommon sadly. But it's highly destructive of lives. "In the 1990s, Margaux reported that she had been sexually abused by her father as a child. In 2013, her younger sister Mariel said in the documentary Running from Crazy that both Margaux and their older sister Muffet had been sexually abused by their father." We don't have to wonder that hard how both of Mariel's older sisters ended up dead young. It's devastating to be molested as a child especially by a close family member. That was the biggest tragedy of her life and what ultimately killed her.

TK and Errol were good, if not best friends at the time and they may have even been at the Plaza together when Wetson met Margaux. In any event, Errol's friend wanted Margaux probably more than Wetson did, yet she chose Errol over TK. TK was also a lawyer and it was he who negotiated Margaux's million dollar perfume contract. He never got over her jilting him in favor of Errol and towards the end of her life when she was down and out, TK SUED her for $50,000 claiming she never paid him for having negotiated her Faberge contract. What a creep. When he told me he was suing Margaux, I stopped speaking to him finally seeing him for the petty, sick creep he was. If you read the People interview with Margaux done before her untimely end, she mysteriously references TK saying, (I'm paraphrasing here) "Some people never let go of the past." I never learned of the final judgment of the lawsuit and whether or not TK was awarded the $50K he was seeking from Margaux, but the fact that a wealthy man such as he sued Margaux speaks volumes regarding his lack of compassion and character.

TK's sick gesture was about hurting MH in any way possible - causing her grief and anxiety. MH probably lacked the funds necessary to hire a lawyer to answer TK's Complaint, and if MH didn't appear in court, TK might have been given a Summary Judgment in his favor.

A loop of guilt ,self doubt hideing from family and friends ect.. like a sick secret that you think no one will understand ( most do not) and judge you if they found out seeing you in that state (so you hide and make excuses) cancel plans stay inside overthink pace the floors not being able to turn off your brain to the point where it feels like you want to tear your hair out to make it stop the only escape is sleep but you cannot do that either 😮that continues over and over until you have no no quality of life 😢 some self medicate to hide the tremendous anxiety to help fight going out in the world when all you want to do is hide disengage but can not. The push and pull of wanting to get out and the guilt that comes with it is daily torture that I cannot fully describe..Finding the right medical help is a full time job in the sterile fast paced medical field that quite frankly dismisses the severity of your condition.. don’t even get me started on the prescriptions complex combination of prescriptions to help relieve your symptoms can take years meanwhile if you do not have the right combination all the side effects come flooding in becoming overweight, sluggish, numb , forgetful It goes on and on😢…. my apologies to whoever took the time to read this for mostly I wrote it for myself to get it out of my brain and into words or somehow it seems more real and not so invisible and thought….. The complexity of the brain is unique to each individual experience I wouldn’t wish mental illness on anyone it is an invisible sickness that people think can easily be corrected unfortunately that is not always the case a lot of it ends up in suicide💔😩.. as the years peel by you end up shutting down and living in your head because nobody gets it they just don’t understand it I would rather have a physical illness for this is invisible it can’t be seen or touched or removed I can only be expressed through words and after reading what I wrote it’s only a quarter of the experience……

Margeaux ‘s biggest barrier to acting success was her speaking voice. It was terrible sounding. Her voice was gravelly, too deep, and actually shocked people when they heard it. Her voice actually made us cringe first time we heard it. It was the THING no one spoke of. But, it was bad. A blender on high gear was more comfortable to the ear than her speaking voice. Why it wasn’t addressed by a speech pathologist is unknown. It sure would have made a difference.

[@stacypeterson7755]

I am a speech pathologist, and I agree completely. A gravelly voice, for a woman, can be an asset. Remember Margot Kidder, who played Lois Lane with Christopher Reeve? Kathleen Turner? About Margaux's same vintage. That rasp stems from vocal abuse, smoking, drinking, too much yelling, loud laughter, etc. It often shows up in pre-teen girls but usually goes away because these girls tend to settle down and become more self-aware and "lady-like." Not all, certainly, and probably fewer than did so 50 years ago. Anyway, this is the long way around to say that MH had something else going on with her voice that made it... wow. Not so good. A friend of mine used to call her Rocky the flying squirrel. And she did sound a lot like the Rocky and Bullwinkle squirrel. It was higher and gravelly, and it was never what you expected to come out of her mouth. Low and sonorous is what I would expect. But there was no one more beautiful. A beauty + a weight problem = tragedy. Sorry but it's true.
