The ’60s Model Who Meditated With The Beatles And Acted With Liza Minnelli Still Glamorous As Ever

Marisa Berenson was a top model in the 1960s and was recently spotted attending the Giorgio Armani Privé Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2025 show for Paris Fashion Week this January. Known for her distinctive doe-eyed beauty, Berenson made quite the entrance in an all-black ensemble highlighted with bright blue accents.

The day before, she had attended the Schiaparelli Haute Couture show. In her prime, Berenson graced the covers of Vogue multiple times, embodying the epitome of 1960s glamor. At 77, she remains a striking figure with a timeless presence.

These days, Berenson enjoys a quiet yet glamorous life in Marrakech, Morocco. She resides in a riad, which is a traditional Moroccan house located in the tranquil Palmeraie area surrounded by a vast palm grove on the outskirts of the city. Though she has slowed down compared to her high-energy years, Berenson’s influence still stretches far. She is currently a UNESCO Ambassador Artist for Peace.

In the ’70s, Berenson’s life was filled with non-stop activity. From modeling for top fashion houses to acting alongside Liza Minnelli, her career was buzzing with energy. She made headlines not only for her looks but also for her acting roles and her dedication to social causes.

Marisa Berenson meditated with the Beatles in India

Berenson is deeply committed to Transcendental Meditation (TM), a practice that had a profound impact on her life. She recounts her transformative journey to India, where she sought spiritual guidance and eventually found herself at an ashram in Rishikesh, meditating alongside the Beatles.

She recalls a serene atmosphere where meditation was central to their daily routine, and the Beatles — George Harrison and Ringo Starr in particular — played guitars, with the group living modestly in huts and adopting a vegetarian lifestyle.
