On May 29, 1982, 40 years ago, Romy Schneider disappeared. This actress of German origin has accompanied French spectators for so long that he seems to have always known her. She has changed her life several times, left men and countries to start all over again elsewhere. She snatched the roles she wanted, attracting the gaze of the greatest filmmakers of her time. But beyond the icon she has become, Romy Schneider was first and foremost a free woman who never stopped moving forward.
