Romy Schneider's private life continued turbulently. Dumped by Delon (they never married) in 1963, she married (1966) and divorced (1975) Harry Meyen (1924 - 1979), a German director and actor who later committed suicide. The couple had a son, David Christopher Meyen (1966–1981). In 1975, Schneider married Daniel Biasini, her private secretary; they separated in 1981. Their daughter Sarah Magdalena Biasini (b. July 14, 1977) is ... an actress.
Romy Schneider stars as Princess Elisabeth in this artful condensation of the "Sissi" trilogy of films about the young woman's trials and triumphs in 19th-century Austrian court: "Sissi," "The Young Empress," and "The Fateful Years of the Empress." Directed by Ernst Marischka, this abridgment loses none of the romantic poignancy of the originals and co-stars Karlheinz Böhm, Vilma Degischer and Magda Schneider.

Schneider was born Rosemarie Magdalena Albach-Retty on September 23, 1938, in Vienna, Austria, and during her early years "Romy" became the shortened version of her given name. She was the third generation in a theatrical family on the side of her father, Wolf Albach-Retty, who regularly appeared with the Vienna Volkstheater. Her paternal grandmother, Rosa Albach-Retty, had been a famous Vienna stage actress of an earlier era. Schneider's mother, meanwhile, was a film actress in Germany during in the 1930s, appearing in the light comedies and toothless historical epics that were part of the Nazi government's propaganda effort. During World War II, Schneider's parents separated, and after the age of four she lived with her mother and maternal grandparents in Berchtesgaden, Germany, where she attended school.

schneider The daughter of two popular European actors -- Austrian leading man Wolf Albach-Retty and German film star Magda Schneider -- Romy Schneider began her own career at age 15. Billed as "the German Shirley Temple," Romy starred in a series of fluffy comedies about young Austro-Hungarian Empress Elizabeth, better known as Sissi.
Synopsis: Based on a play by Arthur Schnitzer, this is a rather flat remake of the 1932 film Liebelei that featured Magda Schneider as Christine. Director Pierre Gaspard-Huit keeps it all in the family by putting Schneider's daughter Romy Schneider in the top female slot. Opposite her is newcomer Alain DelonRead More
