But he was really young too, 23 or 24 or so when they have met. I have heard Annie Girardault referred to them as "wrong for each other". Who was really the one to blame was the future "Madame Delon", or Nathalie. She did have a heart to announce quite recently that if her "affair" did upset Romy, it wasn't her "problem". If not for her, Alain Delon and Romy Schneider would have probably stayed together.

In 60s it was a kind social norm for actors. Of course Romy knew about that and did her best to remain at her fiancée side regardless. After all, she was a great actress and working with Visconti was important to her. He introduced her to Coco Chanel. We do owe him the image of Romy we love now.

Maybe it is what you are talking about. And I am not talking about his assumed homo- or bisexuality <i>per se</i>. I know homo- or bisexual men I find likeable as people and attractive as men. I don't know what it is. I reacted this way the first time I became aware of Delon's existence as a young girl and I do now as an ageing woman.The_Editrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07529769143608862966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18369530.post-2347935697077086912010-07-09T09:39:34.454+02:002010-07-09T09:39:34.454+02:00There is something about Delon that bothers me.

During the dates you give for her relationship with him, Delon co-starred (the lead was Burt Lancaster) in <i>Il Gattopardo</i> by Luchino Visconti - the greatest Italian movie ever made and as close to a national epic as anything in modern Italian arts. Visconti was a great genius, an aristocrat from one of the bluest-blooded lineages in Europe (his forefathers had ruled Milan for three centuries), a Communist - and a predatory homosexual who selected his leading men according to their, shall we say, willingness. The great Italian actor Nino Manfredi has testified that he could never work with Visconti because he was not disposed to grant certain favours to his own sex. It is hard to believe that the beautiful Delon would not have been subjected to his attentions. In short: did Delon betray Romy, not with another woman, but with an older man?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18369530.post-21436084290729535172008-03-16T06:03:00.000+01:002008-03-16T06:03:00.000+01:00I to respect and admire Romy Schneider.

Romy was beautiful; I love her eyes, and her accented voice; they were the vehicles of her character and charm. I only wish she had stayed in the USA. Her career was just taking off when in 1964 she packed up and headed back to Europe-Why? That yutz Alan Delon that's why. He broke up with her because she was becoming successful in Hollywood and he was not. As a result, he didn't have the courage to tell Romy face to face, he left her note when he fled to Mexico. With her emotions raw, Romy wasn't thinking right, so she packed up for France thus effectively shooting her Hollywood career in the foot. Her later movies in France were O.K, but not colorful. The french films tended to be dreary and dark with dreary music scores and lack luster plot lines. These movies were depressing and beneath Romy Schneiders talent and screen presense. She belonged in Hollywood not Paris. Her first film in US was Good Neighbor Sam. It was fantastic and Romy stole the movie; all eyes are drawn to her. What's New Pussycat was another light hearted movie where Romy Schneider became the movie. These movies are fun and colorful and full of life; Romy was full of life at one time. America really lost out when Romy left Hollywood. Romy became a tragic hurting figure long before her son's death; you could see it in her eyes. Those who says they are fans and love Romy Schneider should pray for her. I pray that her soul is at peace with her Maker. I pray that she is reunited with her son, David, and that both are in the loving arms of Christ in heaven. So next time you are planning to watch Sissi on some rainy day or quiet Sunday afternoon, before you put the movie in, stop for a moment and say a prayer for her; I promise, you'll enjoy the movie more knowing that you are supporting Romy's soul in eternity. It also brings you a little closer to her and God. Thanks for reading.Merlin4445https://www.blogger.com/profile/05762187771120305200noreply@blogger.com
