🌟 Behind her glamorous image as a star, Romy Schneider was first and foremost a devoted mother. For her daughter Sarah, whom she cherished above all, the actress made countless sacrifices. 💔 Find out more in the first comment 👇👇. Discover the photos of her stunning daughter as well 👇👇.
Romy Schneider, the legendary film actress, became a mother for the second time in 1977 at the age of 39. This second child inspired her to make profound sacrifices.
Born on September 23, 1938, in Austria’s capital city, Romy began her acting career as a teenager. At just 14 years old, she took on the role of Empress Elisabeth of Austria, known as “Sissi,” in a series of four films.
The success of the first three movies, released between 1955 and 1957, quickly brought her international fame. Later, Romy settled in France, where she starred in many classic films over the years (e.g., The Inferno, The Swimming Pool, The Things of Life, César and Rosalie).
As a mother to David, a 10-year-old boy, Romy dreamed of having a second child. Her wish came true just a year later when she welcomed a baby girl named Sarah. At that time, she was 38 years old and in a relationship with her personal secretary, Daniel Biasini. Fully aware of the implications of her second pregnancy, Romy willingly made sacrifices, as reported in Paris Match on December 30, 1977.
Upon learning of her pregnancy, the actress prudently decided to cancel all her filming commitments. She missed out on numerous films but had no regrets about her choice. “I deeply wanted a child,” Romy revealed.
Romy Schneider: Putting Her Career on Hold to Raise Her Daughter
After pausing her professional life for her second pregnancy, the star rented a home in Gassin, where she lived with her husband and eldest son. In her 25-year career, this was the first time Romy stopped filming for an entire year, dedicating her time to her little girl.
Tragically, Sarah did not get to spend much time with her mother. Romy Schneider passed away at the age of 43 in 1982, just one year after the accidental death of her son David at the age of 14. This sudden loss was a devastating blow from which the actress never recovered.
