Romy Schneider: Enterró a su Hijo… y Murió 11 Meses Después

She was forty-three years old when she was found dead, sitting at her desk, with an empty glass of white wine and a half-finished letter. It was May 29, 1982. Eleven months earlier, she had lost her only son, David, fourteen years old, impaled on the iron spikes of a gate at his grandparents' house. From that day on, Romy Schneider was no longer a woman. She was a shadow waiting to be reunited with her son. Romy Schneider was not just the sweet Sissi. She was the girl forced into acting by her mother, the woman whom Alain Delon abandoned with a cold letter and 50 roses, and, above all, the heartbroken mother who spent her last days writing letters to a son who was no longer there. This is the most intimate, most tragic, and most silenced story of the most beloved European actress of the twentieth century. 📌 In this documentary you will discover: ▪ The morning of May 29, 1982, in the apartment on rue Barbet-de-Jouy in Paris ▪ Her birth in Vienna in 1938 and her childhood under the shadow of Magda Schneider, Hitler's favorite actress ▪ Her boarding school years at Klosterschule Goldenstein and the trauma of always sleeping with her hands above the sheets ▪ Her stepfather, Hans Herbert Blatzheim, and her forced entry into film at age fifteen ▪ The golden trap of the Sissi trilogy between 1955 and 1957 ▪ Her first meeting with Alain Delon on the set of Christine in 1958 and their engagement the following year ▪ Coco Chanel as a mentor and the brutal comment she made about other women ▪ The breakup in Mexico in 1963 with fifty red roses and a farewell letter ▪ Marriage to Harry Meyen, a Holocaust survivor, in Berlin and the birth of David ▪ Reunion with Delon at La Piscine in Saint-Tropez and the fountain anecdote with Jacques Deray ▪ Collaboration with Claude Sautet and the two César Awards in 1976 and 1979 ▪ Second marriage to Daniel Biasini and the birth of their daughter Sarah in 1977 ▪ Harry Meyen's suicide in Hamburg in April 1979 and the letters Romy began writing to the dead ▪ Last morning with David, July 5, 1981, and the scrambled eggs she never finished ▪ David's death, impaled on the gate of the family home in Saint-Germain-en-Laye ▪ The final ten months of pills, white wine, and possessions Gifts ▪ The final phone call to Alain Delon and the unfinished letter from the last night ▪ Delon's open letter published in Paris Match and the phrase "now you're with your little one, my doll" ▪ The untold truth about the Boissy-sans-Avoir cemetery and where Romy was buried in relation to her son ▪ Magda Schneider's fourteen years of silent visits to the grave until her death in 1996 🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifications so you don't miss our next stories. #RomySchneider #AlainDelon #Sissi #VidasOcultas #DocumentalHistorico #HistoriaReal #Biografia #CineFrances #CineEuropeo #ActricesDelSigloXX #TragediasDeHollywood #IconosDelCine Romy Schneider, Alain Delon, Sissi empress, Magda Schneider, David Christopher Haubenstock, Harry Meyen, Daniel Biasini, Sarah Biasini, Claude Sautet, La Piscine, La Passante du Sans-Souci, Coco Chanel, Visconti, French cinema of the seventies, European actresses, film tragedies, César award, Boissy-sans-Avoir, rue Barbet-de-Jouy, biography Romy Schneider, death of Romy Schneider, life of Romy Schneider, European Hollywood, film myths
