Trivia
Grandaughter of famous fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli.
Aunt of actor Oz Perkins.
Former sister-in-law of actor Anthony Perkins.
Before entering films, she was one of the top fashion models of the 1960s, a favorite at "Vogue".
Her daughter, Starlite Melody Randall, appears on the reality show "Gastineau Girls" (2005) on E!.
Her father was Robert L. Berenson, a U.S. diplomat of Lithuanian-Jewish descent (original family name Valvrojenski). He was related to legendary art critic Bernard Berenson, an expert in Italian Renaissance. Her mother was Countess Maria Luisa (Marisa) Yvonne Radha (aka "Gogo") de Wendt de Kerlor. Gogo was the daughter of Swiss-French Count Wilhelm de Wendt de Kerlor and fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli. Born in Rome, Schiaparelli was the daughter of Celestino Schiaparelli (1841-1919), of Italian stock, and wife, of Egyptian stock. (Her great-uncle was Giovanni Schiaparelli, an astronomer who discovered the canals of Mars). When Schiaparelli married Count Wilhelm, they relocated to Greenwich Village where Gogo was born. He soon fled, and Elsa's career in fashion designing began. She was hugely successful in Paris, second only to Coco Chanel and she even collaborated with Salvador Dalí and Jean Cocteau. (Marisa herself maintained the tradition, becoming a top model in the 60s both in Europe and in New York).
Aunt of musician Elvis Perkins.
Berenson is chairman of the board of Culture Project, an organization that sponsors the theater.
She was known as "The Queen of the Scene" for her frequent appearances at nightclubs and other social venues in her youth; Yves Saint-Laurent dubbed her "the girl of the Seventies".
In the late 1970s it was announced she would star as Vivien Leigh in a biographical film. Unfortunately the plans eventually fell.
