Last month, we picked up the life of Princess Sissi, known as the most beautiful queen in Europe. Many small friends have mentioned the "Princess Sisi" trilogy that was popular in the motherland and the actress Who played Sissi, Romei Schneider, lamenting that she was as beautiful as Sissi, but also suffered a tragic fate.
This time, we will talk about the actress Romei Schneider who brought the most beautiful princess dreams to girls around the world in the last century.
Romy Schneider in the film Princess Sissi
In princess Sisi, I use "life is all the best match, but still not a good life" to describe the most beautiful queen in Europe's lifelong dilemma.
So for her actor Romy Schneider, I would like to borrow a classic line from "Daming Palace Words" - "There is no love in this world, and if you want to love too much, it will make you more disappointed", which can be said to be a true footnote to her life's emotional sadness but always love.

On September 23, 1938, Romey was born into an artistic family in Vienna, Austria. My grandmother was a famous actress at the Royal Opera House, and her parents were well-known film actors.

Many people wonder whether Romei is German or Austrian, by blood, her father is Austrian and her mother is German, but after the outbreak of World War II, she moved to Germany with her parents, and she is a dual German-French national in terms of nationality.

At the age of 5, the mother finally could not stand her husband's "big turnip" and chose to divorce, and Romey lived with her mother Magda Schneider, and since then she has taken her mother's surname Schneider. Her mother, who was busy filming and remarriing, had time to take care of her children, so Romey was sent to a Catholic boarding school, and for four years, her mother only visited her two or three times, and the letter to her father never received a reply.

In Magda's concept, it was already a great fortune for a daughter to be able to eat, drink and go to school in times of war, and never thought that for young children, maternal love and affection were more important than material.
The lack of family warmth, the neglect of her father and the neglect of her mother made Romei particularly inferior, and she wrote in her diary, "I learned to lie, and in order to brag to others, I fabricated my own other life." ”
Her bragging life is actually an ordinary life loved by other people's fathers and mothers.
The love that was missing in her childhood life was deeply hidden in the depths of her memory, and became the pursuit and obsession of the rest of her life.

On the other hand, in school, Romei was lucky to find a career that he had loved all his life to fight for- acting. She loved drama at school, and at the age of 14 she wrote in her diary: "If it were up to me to decide, I would immediately become an actress." Just like a mother. ”
Although Romey entered the Academy of Fine Arts in Cologne a year later with her talent for painting, the opportunity to become an actress was also given to her in the same year.
The film "White Lilacs Bloom Again" required a young actress to play the daughter of a character in Magda's play, so Magda recommended her daughter Romei to the producers. This film thus became Romey's film debut, and won a lot of audience popularity because of her fresh and natural performance and youthful and beautiful appearance.
This "electrocution" big screen also made Romei's stepfather smell "business opportunities", and the stepfather who turned from a restaurant owner to a producer felt that if Romei could continue to "mix" the entertainment industry, there was definitely a big potential for popularity.
In this way, Romey officially became an actress, and after making two good but small-scale films, in 1954, director Ernst Malischka selected the heroine for "Princess Sissi", and after seeing Romy Schneider, he thought that her appearance and temperament were very similar to the historical Princess Sissi.
After Romey was finalized as the heroine, Magda also took a role in the movie, playing Sissi's mother.
This starring role ushered in the highlight moment of romy Schneider's popularity throughout Europe.
She was 17 years old.

Although the Sissy depicted in the film is very different from the historical Sissi, all the viewers who have experienced the style of Romeus Snyder's films believe that Sissi is Sissi, and Sissi is Sissi.
The worship and praise of Romei allowed the mother and stepfather to reap the success and wealth of being "star mothers" and "star fathers". The husband and wife became agents, Magda was responsible for choosing the script, and the stepfather was responsible for negotiating and signing the contract, but Romei, who created these huge fortunes, could only take 6,000 francs a month for the "allowance", and the rest all went into the stepfather's pocket, in order to please her mother and maintain the harmony of the family, she had no choice but to be silent.
In the next two years after the great success of "Princess Sissi", Romei continued to star in the sequels "Young Queen" and "The Fate of the Queen" under the arrangement of his mother and stepfather, in order to "harvest" a round of fame and fortune while the iron was hot, although the plot of the last two parts was obviously not as good as one, but the aura of the first part was really dazzling, and the response continued to be hot.
However, Romey Schneider has mixed feelings for the role of Sissi, on the one hand, Sissi has brought her great fame and praise, which of course she likes; but on the other hand, Romy, who is deeply labeled Sissi, feels the shackles of the role.
"I dragged Sissi around like a chicken... When I wanted to cry to alleviate my bitterness, Sissi had to show a cute smile. ”
Romey Schneider was eager to tear off the label of Princess Sissi and prove her diversity and plasticity as an actor. So her mother took over a play based on an Austrian novel for her, "Christina", which was translated Chinese "When the Flower Moon Broke the Intestine". This is also a play that Magda herself once starred in.
In 1958, at the age of 20, Romey traveled to Paris, where she met another lead actor, the 23-year-old Alain Deron, who had not yet become famous. She didn't know that her ill-fated emotional line was about to start with this man.
