From her youth - that is, from the early 1960s - having made a successful career as a fashion model (“I was once one of the most expensive models in the world,” she once said in an interview with The New York Times), Berenson began to appear regularly on the covers of famous glossy, fashion and news magazines: Newsweek, Time, People, Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Stern and others. For her love of bohemian pastime, crowded parties and performances on the stages of nightclubs, the journalists nicknamed her "The Queen of the Scene", and Yves Saint Laurent, who considered Berenson an ideal expresser of moods and bearer of the tendencies of the decade - "Girl of the Seventies" (The Girl of the Seventies) .
In 1967, Marisa Berenson made her film debut (in the American television series Coronet Blue); then, after a three-year break, in less than four years (1971-1975) she starred in three classic film adaptations of the 1970s - Death in Venice by Luchino Visconti (1971), Cabaret by Bob Foss (1972) and Barry Lyndon by Stanley Kubrick (1975). The role of Natalia Landauer - the exquisitely simple-minded heiress of a wealthy Jewish merchant who lives in Berlin during the era of the Nazi dictatorship and the first Jewish pogroms (Cabaret) - earned Marisa Berenson the 1972 National Council of Film Critics award in the category "Best Supporting Actress". However, Berenson's most famous and popular role - the "tragic beauty" Lady Lyndon from Kubrick's "Barry Lyndon" - was greeted by reviewers. unwilling to acknowledge serious acting skills for a too successful model, it is unfairly cold. Vincent Canby of The New York Times summed up the general attitude of professional critics towards the selection of Marisa Berenson as Lady Lyndon: “Marisa Berenson is perfect for her costumes and wigs.” Gruvemuvestart Subsequently, Berenson starred in a number of other films (mainly European production), in several American television films, in particular, in the Holocaust-themed drama "Buying Time" (1980) - and as a guest presenter in one of the episodes of the third season of "The Muppet show "(1978) .
In the early 1970s, Berenson met with Baron David Rene de Rothschild, the youngest son and future heir of Baron Guy de Rothschild, head of the Rothschild banking dynasty. However, the first husband of Marisa was the rivet manufacturer James Randall. The spousal union, concluded in 1976 in Beverly Hills, turned out to be fragile and was dissolved a year and a half later. From this marriage, in 1977, Marisa had a daughter - Starlite Melody Randall (Starlite Melody Randall) .
In 1982, Berenson married a second time - to lawyer Aaron Richard Golub (Aaron Richard Golub). The new marriage was also not happy; the couple divorced in 1987. The divorce ruling argued, among other things, that “the ever-increasing value of Ms. Berenson's acting and modeling career is the joint property of the spouses” - and as such should be taken into account in all future divisions of property. On September 11, 2001, the younger and only sister of Marisa Berinthia "Berry" Perkins (widow of actor Anthony Perkins), who flew American Airlines Flight 11, was killed in the first terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York. By coincidence, at the same time, Marisa herself was flying from Paris to New York. In an interview with the CBS television and radio network, she talked about how she felt when her plane was forced to land in Newfoundland a few hours later, after which her daughter called her and announced the death of her sister.
