This Friday, March 4 is broadcast Mado, film by Claude Sautet on France 5, of which Romy Schneider is one of the headliners. She replies to Michel Piccoli, Ottavia Piccolo and Jacques Dutronc, among others. But not to Alain Delon unlike The swimming pool and Christina, shooting on which they had met for the first time. The first contacts promised sacred storms but love ended up taking precedence over the rest. For four years, Romy Schneider and Alain Delon formed one of the most glamorous duos in French cinema. They became engaged in 1959 until a turnaround that no one had seen coming.
Romy Schneider tours abroad. Everything always goes well with Alain Delon. At least that’s what she believed:When she returns to Paris, she joins him at their apartment, and there on the living room table there is a bouquet of flowers, and a note: ‘Reason forces me to say goodbye to you. We lived through our marriage before we got married. Our profession would deprive us of any chance of survival… Don’t be mistaken about the color of these flowers: they are not black roses. I give you back your freedom by leaving you my heart. I left with Nathalie. Forgive me. Alain'” revealed Bernard Pascuito, one of the biographers of the star of Sisi.
Alain Delon has always said it: Nathalie is the only woman to have been married to him. She is also the mother of one of his sons, Anthony. This did not prevent the 86-year-old comedian from fondly thinking back to his years of love with Romy Schneider. Every September 23, the actress’ birthday, Alain Delon always has a word for the one he loved. For his 82 years, he had written: “A star never goes out. We will always love you“. The following year, he remembered an anecdote from the time of their history: “Rosemarie Albach-Retty, known as Romy Schneider, would have been 83 today, Thursday, September 23. I remember… We wondered ‘Who fell in love first, you or me?’ We counted: ‘One two Three !’ And we answered: ‘Neither you nor me ! Together !’ Together… My love for you is eternal, my Puppelé“. An immortal respect that perfectly characterizes Alain Delon.
