Daria Halprin, born in 1948, is an American artist, author, and therapist, widely known to the public primarily for her leading role in Michelangelo Antonioni's cult film, *Zabriskie Point* (1970). Her brief film career also includes an appearance in *The Jerusalem File* (1972). After leaving acting, she directed her focus toward the connection between art, psychology, and movement.

Her recognition stems from her pioneering contribution to expressive therapy, which has made her a leading figure worldwide.
