Mariel
Hemingway in Idaho with Intention
BY SABINA DANA PLASSE
F
or many, Mariel Hemingway is a household name that is synonymous with American life, culture, history, and prominence. Her grandfather, Ernest Hemingway, a Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winner, changed American literature. On her own, Mariel garnered a Golden Globe, Academy Award, and BAFTA nomination as a young actress. Her performance in Woody Allen’s Manhattan (among many of her films) was memorable and launched her career as a notable and accomplished actress. Mariel has raised two daughters, whose careers are flourishing, and she is very happy in a long-time relationship with her life partner, Bobby Williams. She is ready to take on her lifelong dream of making mental wellness a priority for Americans and the world. “Idaho is my home,” says Mariel. “It’s unlike any place I know. There is the shiny life of Sun Valley, where glitz and glamour types have come since the ‘30s and ‘40s, and then there’s Idaho as what it is. Those who stay in Idaho get it. It is a soulful understanding. There’s something about being here that makes you real.”
