Romy Schneider (23 September 1938 – 29 May 1982) was an Austrian-born film actress who held German and French citizenship.

From 1955 to 1957 she played the central character of Empress Elisabeth of Austria in the Austrian Sissi trilogy. In 1958 she met Alain Delon and they became engaged; Schneider moved to France where she made successful and critically acclaimed films with some of the most notable film directors of that era. Her engagement to Delon ended in 1963 and Schneider subsequently married twice. The son from her first marriage died in an accident in 1981 when he was 14.

|---|---|
| 1 | [In a letter to her friend Simone Signoret] I don't know anything about life, but everything about cinema. |
| 2 | I want to learn, I want to develop, I want to discover all that is in me. |
| 3 | I am not afraid of nothing in the world. Except ego. |
| 4 | I wish to present myself in front of the camera, each time under the features of a different woman, I would like to live and apprehend the problems, the conflicts, the feelings and the impulses of women radically different from me. |
| 5 | I cannot live without having a role to work. |
| 6 | One can remain eternally young if each day, one grows rich by marvelous moments. I am convinced that at the end of my life, all these sufferings and all these joys, the memories, the goods like the bad ones, give us a heat which resembles those that give us and which love us. |
| 7 | I am nothing in life, but everything on the screen. |
| 8 | I've worked with the biggest tyrants: [Otto Preminger] Preminger, [Orson Welles] Welles, [Luchino Visconti] Visconti. Despots - they have contempt for most actors. When they meet someone who stands up to them, everything's great. |
| 9 | You must not quote to me what I once said. I am wiser now. |
| 10 | Memories are the best things in life, I think. |
| 11 | [Alain Delon] Delon? Nothing is colder than a love that has passed away. |
| 12 | I have the feeling that I was born in Vienna in order to live in Paris. |
| 13 | Life must go on. My work gives me strength. |
| 14 | Sissi sticks to me just like oatmeal. |
| # | Fact |
|---|---|
| 1 | L'Heure Bleue by Guerlain was her favorite perfume. |
| 2 | She was in a relationship with Swiss actor Bruno Ganz at the beginning of the 70s. |
| 3 | Was fluent in three languages: her native German, French and English. |
| 4 | Had a striking resemblance to her friend Simone Signoret. Although they never appeared in a movie together, Romy appeared in L'enfer (1964) alongside Signoret's daughter, Catherine Allégret. |
| 5 | She was a favorite of Coco Chanel and one of very few clients that Chanel would see personally. |
| 6 | Was strongly considered to play the title role in Mademoiselle (1966) by the time Georges Franju had been approached to direct the project. But Franju had grown enamored with the acting skills of his frequent collaborator Emmanuelle Riva, whom he introduced to screenwriter Jean Genet as his ideal pick for the part. Genet was very enthusiastic about the idea and, when Franju mentioned Schneider, he stated: 'You've shown me a jewel, I won't swop it against a false pearl, and German at that'. Franju never helmed the project and later remarked that he would have made the movie straight away had he agreed to Romy's casting, but he had been too partial to Emmanuelle. The film was eventually directed by Tony Richardson and starred Jeanne Moreau. |
