It seems like it would be virtually impossible to carve out any kind of legacy of one’s own if Ernest Hemingway was your great-grandfather, but Dree Hemingway is working as a model and actress, proving that there is room for more than one celebrity within a family tree.
Dree got her start in modeling for Nicole Miller and has since become the face of Chloé’s best-selling perfume. She even has her own Chloé bag, aptly named the “Dree bag.” Despite this high-fashion success, Dree has downplayed her catwalk skills, telling Elle magazine, “I always think I look constipated when I walk down the runway.” Designers must disagree, because according to IMDb, Dree has also walked for Gucci, Jean Paul Gaultier, Valentino, H&M, Chanel, and Karl Lagerfeld, among other fashion houses.
Not only is Dree a model, but she’s also appeared in films, including 2016’s The People Garden, a metaphysical thriller shot in Tokyo that starred Pamela Anderson. Dree was also the star of the independent film Starlet (2012), and she landed supporting roles in Listen Up Philip and While We’re Young, both from 2014. Dree got a kick out of seeing the latter featured on in-flight entertainment. It’s “cool,” she told Elle, “except when I’m on the plane, and then people watching the movie will always look at me like, ‘Is that the same girl?’ But I look like a hobo, because I’m sleeping and drooling on a plane…”
