Biography

Romy Schneider was a German and French actress who began in the German Heimatfilm genre as a teenager and became a cult figure for playing Empress Elisabeth of Austria across the Sissi trilogy: Sissi (1955), Sissi: The Young Empress (1956) and Sissi: The Fateful Years of an Empress (1957). Born in Vienna in 1938 into a theatrical family, she settled in France and worked with directors including Orson Welles on The Trial (1962), Luchino Visconti on Boccaccio '70 (1962) and Ludwig (1973), where she returned to Elisabeth in a more mature version, and Claude Sautet on The Things of Life (1970), Max and the Junkmen (1971) and Cesar and Rosalie (1972). Her later films included Death Watch (1980) and The Passerby (1982), her last. She won César Awards for That Most Important Thing: Love and A Simple Story, and was nominated for a Golden Globe for The Cardinal.
