ROMY SCHNEIDER
French picture postcard with a b/w bust photo by Sam Lévin of Schneider in a
white blouse and updo. Signed by her in blue ink.
Picture postcard signed "Romy Schneider" in blue ink. B/w, 3½x5½, with
scalloped edges. Published by Editions du Globe of Paris, France. Photo by Sam
Lévin. Once billed as "the German Shirley Temple," even though she started her
career at 15, Schneider (1938-1982, born Rosemarie Albach-Retty in
Vienna, Austria) got her start in a series of comedies about the
Austro-Hungarian Empress Elizabeth before turning to more mature roles.
Schneider was an excellent actress with numerous starring roles, successfully
tackling Orson Welles' The Trial (1963) and winning two Cesar awards
(the French version of the Academy Awards) for L'important c'est d'aimer
(1975) and Une historie simple (1978) and a Golden Globe nomination for
The Cardinal (1963). Despite this, she was typecast as an exotic sex
kitten in Hollywood during the 1960s, including a starring role as Carole in
What's New, Pussycat? (1965). In all, she has over 60 TV shows and
movies to her credit, mostly in French and German-language productions. Lightly
toned and bowed. Discolored along edges on verso. Light impressions from
printing on verso and scratches on image (not visible head-on). Otherwise in
fine condition.
