About

Romy S.

Rosemarie Magdalene Albach erblickte am 23.09.1938 um 21.45 Uhr als erstes Kind des Schauspielerehepaares Wolf Albach-Retty (1906–1967) und Magda Schneider (1909–1996) in Wien das Licht der Welt. Im Oktober jenes Jahres zog die Familie von Wien nach Schönau bei Berchtesgaden um.Berühmt wurde Romy in den 3 Filmen „Sissi“. Wenn im deutschsprachigen Raum ihr Name fällt, wird sofort die Erinnerung an „Sissi“ wach. Romy klagte darüber später: „Die Sissy klebt an mir wie Griesbrei“. Romy rebellierte vergeblich. Am 28. Mai 1982 ging Romy mit ihrem Lebensgefährten Laurent Petin und dem Drehbuchautor Jacques Kirchner in Paris zum Essen. Als das Paar nach Mitternacht zurückkehrte, fühlte Romy sich nicht gut und legte sich im Salon auf die Couch. Dort fand Petin sie tot vor, als er am Samstag, 29. Mai 1982,ca 7.45 Uhr im Schlafzimmer erwachte.

I adored her as a child and love her still as an adult, she is to France what Marilyn is to America, an unforgettable symbol of beauty, talent and grace. She bewitched me with Sissi and I have been fascinated by her ever since. She had a tragic life and died of a broken heart; whether she took her own life or not is irrelevant because she died when her beloved son was killed. There are blows in life that are simply lethal and this was the case with Romy, but she left a legacy of luminous performances and has gone to the pantheon of the immortals.

Germany´s lost child?

Always thought she´s french, throughout her family´s name sounds german.
Time ago i saw a movie (name ´s forgotten) in her mothers language - weird but fascinating! Dark pleasently voice.
She´s not best known in US, but rememberd as a european superstar!
And blessed with such a natural beauty in addition to be a master of her craft - acting!

She would turn to seventy this year, right?!
What did she look like now? What would she do today?
