Margaux Louise Hemingway (February 16, 1954[1] or 1955 [2] – July 1, 1996) was an American fashion model and actress. Born Margot Louise Hemingway in Portland, Oregon, she was the older sister of actress Mariel Hemingway and the granddaughter of writer Ernest Hemingway. When she learned that she was named after the wine, Château Margaux, which her parents, Byra Louise (née Whittlesey) and Jack Hemingway (eldest son of Ernest), were drinking the night she was conceived, she changed the original spelling from "Margot" to "Margaux" to match.[3] In addition to Mariel, she had another sister, Joan (nicknamed Muffet) and grew up in Idaho on her grandfather's farm in Ketchum. Margaux struggled with a variety of disorders in addition to alcoholism, including depression, bulimia, and epilepsy. She allowed a video recording to be made of a therapy session related to her bulimia, and it was broadcast on television. Hemingway also suffered from dyslexia. On July 1, 1996, one day before the anniversary of her grandfather's own suicide, Hemingway was found dead in her studio apartment in Santa Monica, aged 42. She had taken an overdose of phenobarbital, according to the Los Angeles County coroner's findings one month later.[15] FBMD0f00075b0100003b21000077730000848100006f930000b1f400008e5c0100c1840100 There's no denying Taylor Hill's laid-back style, which she can credit to growing up in the small town of Granby, Colorado.

What a difference a year makes -- as she'll now have her own set of wings on the catwalk! In her free time, Hill loves to listen to music, read, snowboard and practice yoga.
