Mariel Hemingway, the granddaughter of celebrated writer Ernest Hemingway, beat an illness that has claimed seven of her family members–depression and suicide. She has a new movie that deals with the issue, “Archie’s Final Project.” Her grandfather’s suicide is part of literary history. “Papa” Hemingway, as the writer was known, killed himself in 1961 after years of declining health and money problems.
