Vittoria Marisa Schiaparelli Berenson (born February 15, 1947) is an American actress and model.[1] She appeared on the front covers of Vogue and Time, and won the National Board of Review Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Natalia Landauer in the 1972 film Cabaret. The role also earned her Golden Globe and BAFTA Award nominations. Her other film appearances include Death in Venice (1971), Barry Lyndon (1975), S.O.B. (1981) and I Am Love (2009).

In 2001, she made her Broadway debut in the revival of Design for Living.

A fashion model discovered as a teenager by Vogue editor Diana Vreeland,[1] Berenson came to prominence in the 1960s (“I once was one of the highest paid models in the world”, she told The New York Times).[citation needed] She appeared on the cover of the July 1970 issue of Vogue as well as the cover of Time on December 15, 1975. She appeared in numerous fashion layouts in Vogue in the late 1960s and early 1970s.[1] She was known as “The Queen of the Scene” for her frequent appearances at nightclubs and other social venues in her youth,[9] and Yves Saint Laurent dubbed her “the girl of the Seventies”.[10][1] Berenson’s early film roles included Gustav von Aschenbach’s wife in Luchino Visconti’s 1971 film Death in Venice and the Jewish department store heiress Natalia Landauer in the 1972 film Cabaret. The latter role led to two Golden Globe nominations, a BAFTA nomination and an award from the National Board of Review). She also portrayed tragic beauty Lady Lyndon in the Stanley Kubrick film Barry Lyndon (1975).[1] Vincent Canby of The New York Times wrote: “Marisa Berenson splendidly suits her costumes and wigs.”[11][12] She recalled her experience working under Kubrick’s direction: I liked him very much. He had a lot of dry humour. Contrary to what people think – they have this image of Stanley as this difficult ogre – he wasn’t at all. He was a perfectionist but every great director I’ve worked with has been a perfectionist. You have to be to make extraordinary films.[13] Berenson’s other performances included Casanova & Co. (1977), Killer Fish (1979), the Blake Edwards comedy S.O.B. (1981), The Secret Diary of Sigmund Freud (1984) and Clint Eastwood’s White Hunter Black Heart (1990), as well as in made-for-TV movies in the United States, such as the Holocaust-themed drama Playing for Time (1980). She guest-hosted an episode of The Muppet Show during its third season in 1978.[14] She made her Broadway debut in the 2001 revival of Design for Living, which also starred Jennifer Ehle, Alan Cumming and Dominic West. In 2009, she appeared in the film I Am Love. In August 2016 she appeared in a production of Romeo and Juliet at the Garrick Theatre in London, as Lady Capulet.[15] Berenson is chairman of the board of Culture Project, an organization that sponsors the theater.
