Actor Born: February 15, 1947 in New York City, NY Biography:"Marisa Berenson" was born to an aristocratic family: her grandfather was art historian/collector Bernard Berenson, her maternal grandmother was fashion designer Elsa Schiafarelli, her father was a Boston-based diplomat, and her stepmother was Marchessa Cicciapouti di Guilliano. Reportedly, Marisa made her on-camera debut in the 1961 film "Some Like It Cool". She is better known for her later career as a top-drawer fashion model, gracing the covers of all the best international fashion magazines. Hired by filmmaker "Luchino Visconti" for a major role in "Death in Venice" (1971), Berenson proved she could act, and that she was not merely a wealthy dilettante. She was quite good as Jewish bride Natalie Landauer in "Cabaret" (1972), Lady Lyndon in "Stanley Kubrick"'s "Barry Lyndon" (1975), and, her lovely hair buzz-cut to the bone, as a cynical death-camp inmate in the made-for-TV "Playing for Time"...
