 Romy Schneider mini-bio: Romy Schneider was born on 23 September 1938 in Vienna, Austria into a
family of actors. Making her film debut at the age of 15, her breakthrough
came two years later in the very popular trilogy Sissi (1955). Her mother,
supervising the daughter's career, immediately approved Romy's participation
in Christine (1958), the remake of Max Ophüls's Liebelei (1933), where Magda
Schneider once starred herself. During the movies's shooting, she felt in
love with her co-star Alain Delon and eventually moved with him to Paris. At
that time, she started her international career collaborating with famous
directors such as Luchino Visconti and Orson Welles. After Delon had broken
up with her in 1964, she married Harry Meyen shortly after. Although she
gave birth to a boy, David-Christopher, their relationship was difficult, so
they divorced in 1975. Being unsatisfied with her personal life, she turned
to alcohol and drugs, but her cinematic career -especially in France-
remained intact. She was the first actress, receiving the new created César
Award as "Best Actress" for her role in Important c'est d'aimer, L' (1975).
Three years later, she was awarded again for Une histoire simple (1978).
After a short marriage to her former secretary Daniel Biasini, being the
father of her daughter Sarah Biasini, she suffered the hardest blow of her
life when her son was impaled on a fence in 1981. She never managed to
recover from this loss and died on 29 May 1982 in Paris. Although it was
suggested she committed suicide caused by an overdose of sleeping pills, she
was declared to have died from cardiac arrest.
