Romy Schneider (Rosemary Magdalena Albach-Retti) is a star of German and French cinema, one of the most beautiful and talented actresses in world cinema. Since the early 60s of the 20th century, she has starred with the greatest masters of world cinema - Luchino Visconti, Claude Sautet, Orson Welles, Claude Chabrol and many others. The beauty of Romy Schneider has always attracted people, they wanted to know everything about her life. Flight from Germany, a long love affair with Alain Delon, two unsuccessful marriages, the tragic death of her son, for whose death she blamed herself, ruined health. And a passionate, irresistible desire to constantly act. “Only work gives a feeling of fullness of being, without which it is impossible to live in this world,” the actress admitted. Romy tried in vain to combine her career as an actress and family life; she did not succeed. She wanted to have both, and paid for it with the most precious thing - her life. Romy Schneider died of a broken heart at the age of 43. The prediction of Romy’s grandmother, Rosa Albach-Retti, has come true: “It is quite possible that one day my granddaughter will find herself in a dead end from which there is no way out. People of her type, who allow themselves to live by emotions, feelings and passions, do not think about the fact that the candle, which they try to blow out from both sides, goes out very quickly." The book presents the diary entries of the actress, unique photographs, memories of people with whom she was connected one or another part of her life.
