Romy Schneider - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Schneider's breakthrough, however, came with her portrayal of Princess Elisabeth of Bavaria -- later to become Empress Elisabeth of Austria -- in the romantic biopic Sissi (1955) and its two sequels (1956 and 1957). |
 | | A smoker all her life, Schneider also took to drinking, especially after the sudden death, on July 5, 1981, of her 14-year-old son, David, who was found impaled on a fence, which he had attempted to climb, at the home of his stepfather's parents. |
 | | When Romy Schneider was found dead in her apartment in Paris, France on May 29, 1982, at the age of only 43, rumour had it that she had committed suicide by taking a lethal cocktail of alcohol and sleeping pills. |
