She was so beautiful.In the book of will mcbride,who took the photos that were just shot after the break-up with alain delon, she looks so vulnerable and truly beautiful.



Mädchenjahre einer Königin is about the early years of Queen Victoria! What is written about this film, tells the plot of Sissi.

This is utter nonsense. The movie describes Sissis' later years--Nemissimo (talk) 13:46, 22 November 2007 (UTC)



I don't understand this, Mrs 210.49.196.232: Why should anyone want to *remove* the place of death from a biography and have the user scan the whole article in order to find out? --KF 13:31 Dec 15, 2002 (UTC)

I am a Mister and i merely adjusted the article to fit in with the Wikipedia Manual of Style regarding birth and death dates

Hey Paul - how about creating an account here? Otherwise you are listed in the recent changes as just an anonymous Internet address number, which tends to make people slightly more suspicious :-). Just click the "Log in" link on the top, enter the account name (e.g. Paul Melville) and the password (twice) and click the "Create account" link. (If you also enter the email address, Wikipedia can send your password to you in case you have forgotten it, and other users may send you e-mail through Wikipedia, although your address is not shown publicly.) Have fun, and I hope you stick around! --Eloquence

Thanks mate - your nicer than some around here - i'l create an account as you suggest

PMA

And its done :)

Nice. You can click on the user name in recent changes (should be red now) to add a personal user page. Also, you can set all sorts of nifty stuff in the user preferences, and add pages to your personal watchlist. Yeah, Wikipedia is a bit rough at times, because people from so many different fields and points of view come together, but that's also one of the reasons it's worth it. Update: I see you already discovered the user page - great. --Eloquence

Zoe, don't you see that this is not about Romy Schneider at all?

Doesn't matter. This is a discussion of the history of the creation of the article. -- Zoe
NO, IT ISN'T. This is why I deleted it. This is exactly why I clicked on this talk page in the first place: to see what someone had to say about the article I had written months ago. Only then did I find out that there wasn't anything here except instructions for newbies on how to create a user account. But I'm a peace-loving sort of person, so if you insist -- okay. --KF 01:28 Apr 7, 2003 (UTC)

"German-speaking tabloids ?"

I'm a little unsure if it's a common phrase in english ? A newspaper doesn't speak ? Ericd 01:27 Apr 7, 2003 (UTC)

I'd say German tabloids or German language tabloids. -- Zoe

[edit] Gay Icon Project

In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 22:13, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Nationality

She was a German national all her life. Her mother, from whom she got her last name, was German, her father Austrian. The French and German Wikipedias list her as German. I think simply calling her Austrian is a little unsatisfactory. --128.176.21.199 20:45, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

She may have had dual citizenship. She was born in Vienna. Her father was Austrian, etc. -Maggie 26 August 06

PHOTO

Would it be possible to post a picture from the 70's instead the one shown? While it's a nice picture, I think she's not easily recognizable there. -- Maggie, 8.26.06


In 1938 Vienna was in Germany,because Austria was adopted to Germany. So she was a German-Austrian actress.


Her Mother was a Bavarian German and her father adopted German Citizenship before the Anschluss. That makes her at least Austrian-German.

[edit] Death

The German page (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romy_Schneider) claims that a post-mortem examination was carried out, and that it revealed that she did not commit suicide (which appears to be an invention of the tabloids). See also the circumstances of her death as outlined here: http://www.spiegel.de/kultur/kino/0,1518,485491,00.html (German language link; will disappear in a few months, unfortunately).

[edit] Tomb robbery

I can't find any verification for the story of the ransacking of her grave and I've put a Template:Fact on it. If no confirmation is forthcoming, I'm going to delete that paragraph. Michael Bednarek 15:23, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Abortion

Romy can be seen on the front of June 1971's Stern magazine as one of 374 women who admit to having had an abortion despite it being illegal. This was very famous and controversial at the time and I think it's worth mentioning. http://germanhistorydocs.ghi-dc.org/sub_image.cfm?image_id=1592 ~~Handrejka~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.254.68.205 (talk) 18:27, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Hardly noteworthy outside Germany. It is indeed mentioned in de:Romy Schneider and I have added your source there — thanks for that. Michael Bednarek (talk) 10:46, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
