In the early 1950s, Romy Schneider came to the forefront of the international scene thanks to the Sisi trilogy, in which she portrayed the famous Empress of Austria. But over time, the actor supports this role more and more difficult. Wanting to get away from him, he opposes the filming of the fourth part.

In 1958, aged just 19, Romy Schneider was approached by French director Pierre Gaspard-Huyt to play the title role of Christine in a remake of Max Ophuls’s Liebelei, which had notably launched her mother Magda Schneider’s career in 1933.
With the right to choose a partner, the actress chooses the first young Alain Delon in the photo, who can be seen in the film “When a Woman Interferes” and also “Be Pretty and Shut Up”. The two young actors meet for the first time at Orly Airport in Paris, in front of the press, on April 10, 1958.
If their first reports are stormy (they don’t speak the same language and the flow doesn’t flow), the idyll between them during filming ends up being what unites their characters. On March 22, 1959, Alain Delon and Romy Schneider celebrated their engagement on the shores of Lake Lugano in Switzerland in front of the international press.
After a turbulent five-year relationship, Alain Delon leaves Romy Schneider for Francine Canova, the future Natalie Delon, whom he met in the late summer of 1962 and is pregnant with a son, Anthony.
