Career in Real Estate
Marisa Zanuck built a successful career in the competitive world of Beverly Hills real estate. Known for her poise and strong client relationships, she has worked with some of the top firms in Los Angeles, including Hilton & Hyland and The Agency. Marisa gained a reputation for handling multi-million dollar listings and representing celebrity clientele. Her deep understanding of the luxury property market, coupled with her Hollywood connections, made her a well-known figure in high-end real estate circles.
Reality TV
Her on-camera poise and no-nonsense attitude translated naturally to television when she briefly appeared on Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” Although she was never a full-time cast member, her recurring role during season three in 2013 introduced her to a broader audience and gave viewers a glimpse into her professional and personal life.
Marriage to Dean Zanuck
Marisa was married for many years to Dean Zanuck, a film producer and member of the legendary Zanuck family. Dean is the son of Richard D. Zanuck and Linda Harrison, and the grandson of Darryl F. Zanuck, the influential Hollywood executive who co-founded 20th Century Fox. Marisa and Dean’s marriage linked her to one of the most prominent dynasties in American film history. The couple had two children together. Despite their high-profile family name, Marisa and Dean kept their private lives relatively discreet. They eventually divorced, but Marisa has remained connected to Los Angeles society and continues to work in real estate.
Real Estate
In May 2011, Dean and Marisa paid $1.335 million for a home in Beverly Hills. They sold this home in November 2016, in the wake of their divorce, for $1.825 million.
