Daphne Diana Joan Susanna Guinness comes from a storied lineage. Her father, Jonathan Guinness, 3rd Baron Moyne, is the eldest son of Diana Mitford and Bryan Guinness. Diana Mitford later divorced Guinness and married Sir Oswald Mosley, leader of the British Union of Fascists. Daphne has said she was unaware of Mosley's political affiliations until she heard of his death on BBC News in 1980. She grew up moving between family country houses in England and Ireland, and a villa in Spain, where Salvador Dalí was a family friend. She later lived in New York with her half-sister, Catherine Guinness, who worked as a personal assistant to Andy Warhol.
In 1987, she married Spyros Niarchos, son of Stavros Niarchos. The couple had three children and divorced in 1999, with a $39 million settlement adding to her Guinness inheritance. She lives in London and Manhattan with her children. She has been romantically involved with French philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy for years, and in a 2011 Harper's Bazaar interview, she called him "the love of my life." Daphne's career spans acting, fashion design, music, and production, and she is known for her real, natural look and her full nudity work in solo performances. Her work and presence continue to draw attention in the creative and social spheres.
