Romy Schneider


 

Romy Schneider a.k.a. Romy Schneider-Albach (September 23, 1938 - May 29, 1982) was an Austrian actress. She was born Rosemarie Magdalena Albach-Retty in Vienna into a family of actors that included her paternal grandmother Rosa Albach-Retty, her father Wolf Albach-Retty and her mother Magda Schneider. After Magda's divorce in 1945, she took care of Romy and eventually also supervised the young girl's career, often appearing alongside her daughter, who had made her film debut already in 1953, aged 15. Young Romy's career was also overseen by her stepfather, Hans-Herbert Blatzheim, a noted restaurateur who Schneider indicated had an unhealthy interest in her.
