built 655 days ago
Towards the end, Romy Schneider knew both sadness and tragedy. After serious kidney surgery and her divorce from her second husband, her young son, David Christophe, was killed climbing over his own front gate. Although she threw herself into her work, the pressure and stress proved too much and Romy Schneider died of heart failure a year later.

In 1975, Schneider made a film with Claude Chabrol, Les Innocents aux mains sales (Dirty Hands). Its story centered on a woman who plots to kill her husband, played by Rod Steiger, with her lover in Saint-Tropez. In 1977, she appeared in her first German production in nearly two decades, Gruppenbild mit Dame (Group Portrait with Lady). The film was a joint French-German effort based on a popular nonfiction book by German writer Heinrich Böll, and it won her the Deutscher Filmpreis for Acting that year. In 1979, she appeared in the Costa-Gavras film Clair de femme, following it with a work from director Bertrand Tavernier, La Mort en direct (Deathwatch).
