[edit] Biography
[edit] Personal life
D'Arbanville was born in New York City, the daughter of Jean (née Egan), an artist, and George D'Arbanville, a bar tender.[1] D'Arbanville has been married three times – to French actor Roger Mirmont, athlete Steve Curry, and former New York City Firefighter Terry Quinn, with whom she has three children, Emmelyn, Alexandra, and Liam. She currently resides in New York, with former husband Mr. Quinn and their children.
[edit] Career
D'Arbanville's first movie appearance was in a New York University student film "Tuesday And Blue Silk" in 1960. Growing up in New York's Greenwich Village, D'Arbanville dropped out of school at 14 and traveled around the country. She was discovered during a gig as a club DJ by Andy Warhol, who put the 16-year-old in his 1968 film Flesh. For a time she was a fashion model in Paris, London and New York and was a peripheral part of the Warhol Factory scene. Since then, she has worked steadily in dozens of films and television series in the United States and France, mostly as a supporting actress, but with occasional lead roles such as the title character in David Hamilton's Bilitis. In fact, in 1987, D'Arbanville won a Drama-Logue Award as Best Actress for her 1987 stage debut, in Italian American Reconciliation. She has had well-publicized relationships with singer Cat Stevens (ca. 1968-1970) and actor Don Johnson (ca. 1981-1986), with whom she has a son, Jesse Wayne Johnson (born on December 7, 1982).
In a 1996 episode of New York Undercover, her character's son (after being admonished about getting too caught up in the hip-hop music and lifestyle) says, "Oh, so maybe I should listen to people like...Cat Stevens", which may have been a subtle nod to D'Arbanville's relationship with Stevens in her late teens. D'Arbanville inspired the Cat Stevens songs "Lady d'Arbanville" and "Wild World", from his 1970 albums Mona Bone Jakon and Tea for the Tillerman respectively.
In 2007, she served as Queen Mermaid at the 25th annual Coney Island Mermaid Parade.
