Romy Schneider (1938-1982) was one of the most beautiful and intelligent actors of her generation. More than 30 years after her death she still has an immense popular appeal.

 

German singer and actress Magda Schneider (1909-1996) is best known as the mother of film star Romy Schneider, but in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s s she herself starred in some 40 films. First she appeared on the screen as a charming Wiener mädel (Viennese girl) and after the war she often played the understanding mother or aunt.
