A poignant portrait of a self-determined and vulnerable woman. The fascinating life of the last diva of the 20th century, whose beauty and tragic fate captivate the imaginations of millions. Brilliantly written and supported by extensive, partially previously unexplored source material as well as conversations with Karlheinz Böhm, Volker Schlöndorff, Bertrand Tavernier, Jean Rochefort, and others. Featuring numerous illustrations and a detailed filmography. Romy Schneider's beauty, her countless affairs, and her tragic fate occupy the fantasies of millions. Restless and unyielding, she sought recognition, physical and emotional fulfillment, intellectual stimulation, and earthly guidance. However, unlike other biographers, Günter Krenn does not solely recount the diva's life through the scandals that surrounded her.
