Diego Rivera, who had been married to Angelina Beloff since 1911 , did not adopt Marika as a daughter. So she grew up with her mother, who was later in a relationship with Chaim Soutine . Rivera received dance and acting lessons. In 1938 she married the painter Jean Paul Brusset and had a son named Jean Brusset. In her second marriage she was married to Rodney Philipps, who from 1949 to 1957 the Athelhampton Hall in Dorset, Englandbelonged to. There she gave birth to her second son David Philipps in 1949. After the second marriage, she lived with her children and mother in Ealing , a London suburb. She spent the last years of her life in Dorset again.

As an actress, Rivera toured England with a "one-woman show", but also played in ensemble pieces. Darling and Fellinis Casanova stand out among her films , in which she was able to bring out her dynamic personality.
