Appearing as a painted dream—soft gold light, soft skin, soft linens—light and flesh rendered in the hush of morning: the actress and mental-health advocate Mariel Hemingway in Playboy magazine, April 1982. Born in Mill Valley, California, and the granddaughter of a man she was never destined to know, for he had taken his own life four moons before her birth. That man was none other than one of the 20th century’s most esteemed literary titans, Ernest Hemingway. Here, we see the juxtaposition of ethereal repose with the dark weight of a family mythos, a young woman claiming authorship over her own story.
