Lisa Marie Smith (born December 5, 1968) better known by her stage name Lisa Marie, is an American actress and model.

Career

She was a model for Robert Mapplethorpe and was featured in photographer Bruce Weber's ad campaign for designer Calvin Klein's Obsession perfume.[citation needed]

Marie went on to appear briefly in Let's Get Lost, Weber's documentary on the life of jazz trumpeter Chet Baker, and had a small role in Woody Allen's film Alice. In 1989 she appeared on Malcolm McLaren's song "Something's Jumpin' in Your Shirt" from his 1989 album Waltz Darling.[1]

Marie has appeared in magazines including Maxim, Playboy, and Esquire. She has also had her own photographs exhibited and published in magazines; Vanity Fair ran side-by-side photos taken by her and her partner Tim Burton.

In 2015, Marie starred in the critically acclaimed horror film We Are Still Here with Barbara Crampton, Andrew Sensenig, Larry Fessenden, Monte Markham, and Susan Gibney.[citation needed]

Personal life

Marie met film director Tim Burton at Starbucks in New York on New Year's Eve in 1992, when she had just quit modeling for Calvin Klein, and Burton had been having difficulty in his four-year marriage. According to a Boston Herald article, they claimed to have bonded over mutually witnessing two UFO sightings in California.[2] She was engaged to him from Valentine's Day 1993 to 2001 and appeared in small roles in most of his productions made during this time.

Burton abruptly ended their relationship following the premiere of 2001's Planet of the Apes, which he directed. Marie had a small role in the film, while Burton's new girlfriend Helena Bonham Carter was one of its lead actresses. Marie responded in 2005 by holding an auction of personal belongings that Burton had left behind, much to his dismay.[3]
