The history of Love Romi Schneider and Alena Delon are counted for the greatest novels of the last century. On the relationship of this couple - passionate, painful, sometimes painful - wrote a lot. And in the fact that in the end the heart of Romi was stopped (she died in forty-four years), they were not accused of someone, namely her cruel lover. Although since then the actress has managed to get married twice and divorce. But the wife of Delone she did not. He sincerely believed that the marriage would have done her unfortunately ... But he noted the fiftieth anniversary of their engagement.
Their relationships fited into the classic scheme: the young lady and hooligan. They seem to the inhabitants of two different galaxies, so distant, do not finish. But at the same time, they are uncontrollably pulls to each other. In the residents of Romi Schneider flowed the blood of the Austrian aristocrats. Several generations of her ancestors were famous theatrical actors. Grandma, Rosa Rosty, even called the Austrian Sarah Bernard. Alain told about himself like this: "I come from nowhere. Unhappy childhood, study in the guesthouse, rare meetings with parents, dreary loneliness. " His parents dispersed when the future actor turned three years old. Soon the mother married the owner of a meat shop field Bouloga. Work in the shop took a lot of time, he did not actually remain on the child. As a result, the boy decided to give to the upbringing of the hired nurse of Madame Nero, in the family of which he lived up to her tragic death. Since Alain did not differ in detachment, nor good behavior, he replaced several schools, then began to work in the meat shop of the stepfather. The army and service in Indochita saved the guy from such not glamorous classes. And served, Delon came to Paris with a solid intention to change his life for the better.
At one time he worked as a waiter in the Parisian cafe. The ladies found a young guy very attractive and easy to communicate. He did not differ in chastity and sought to use every chance provided to him by fate. So, one of his passions, actress Michel Corde, opened a young lover window to the world of movies. It was she who suggested her former husband, director Iva Allegr, invite Delone to the samples. The name of the film was symbolic "When the woman interferes."

Romi received her first role when she was not fifteen. The producer of her mother, actress Magda Schneider, suggested a girl to play in the melodrama "When white lilac blooms again." The beauty and talent of the young debutant did not remain unnoticed. In the same year, Romi starred in FEERWERK film. And the real glory came to her after the girl appeared in the film about the wife of Franz Joseph, the Austrian Empress Sissi. After that, the Germans told her "Blond Angel", "Bride of Germany".
Rose black, red rose
When the twenty-year-old actress, accompanied by the mother flew to Paris on the shooting of the painting "Christina", she did not assume that this trip would be for her fateful. The ladder of the aircraft was met by the film partner, a little-known 23-year-old actor Alain Delon. Handing the girl a bouquet of red roses, he soon dissolved in the crowd of the casmen of Romi, who tried to break through to her autograph. No, love at first glance did not happen. She considered him an unprecedented Ham, he called her sophisticated German goose. "Romi belonged to the class I hated most in the world," Delon recalled. - How could I free it from those habits and beliefs that it was twenty years old? "
Nevertheless, the magic power of the cinema has done his job. Depicting lovers on the set, young actors did not notice how it ceased to be a game. "From the very first day of the filming, we were in a state of war and was silent with each other, that the fluff and feathers flew from us," said Romi later in an interview. "But just at that time a new film festival opened in Brussels. We went there with a detachable by one train. And ... about the miracle! For the first time, we not only did not quarrel, but also desperately began to flirt with each other. So the story of our crazy passion began. " Allegedly at this film festival young people finally explained. Delon offered the girl to move to him to Paris. Romi's mother came terrified, she herself did not hesitate for a minute, giving away the unstoppable feeling of the first love.

The only thing I was able to insist Frau Schneider - so that Delon gives relations a legitimate form and made her daughter's proposal. In March 1959, the actors were engaged. In the press, this alliance died Mesallians. And Delon Men's pride did not allow to put up with the role of the second violin. And he made every way to understand who more needs this marriage, in publicly ridicuing and humiliating his bride. He called her views of the mesh, and dreams of a cozy home, the kids caused him only laughter. Alain was absolutely not ready to devote his life to one woman. Moreover, his career went uphill. Any of the fans was happy to spend the night with an uptrent star, a sex symbol of French cinema. The yellow press published notes on the adventures of the Delon, and his bride suffered badly and forgot the rugs and treason. This subcutness caused only more irritation from the actor. During the quarrel, he did not hesitate in choosing words, and sometimes he went to the hands-written. After experienced a feeling of shame, I asked for forgiveness. "Two creatures have always lived in it: a gentle, defenseless doll and to nausea, respectable German Frau. I adored the first, I hated me, "Delon confessed. Dual feelings prevented him. He tormented her, but also suffered himself. For more than five years their passionate and painful novel lasted.
Probably psychologists, fighting in the past Romi, could find an explanation why this talented and beautiful woman did not like himself that it was ready to put up with relations bringing her humiliation and pain. After all, in childhood, Romi has already lost one beloved man - his father. Full Wolf Albach-Relty was distinguished by the same windy temper and, having left the family, for many years forgot about the existence of his daughter. They met only in 1963 during the filming of the film "Cardinal". Alas, he did not express unfortunately nor repentance. Perhaps Romi was afraid to survive this pain, lose her beloved, as the father had ever lost.
Magda Schneider was very worried about his unfortunate girl who was in the paws of the Delon's Merezava: "He could do with it literally all that he wanted, he committed violence over it - both physical and spiritual. Kisses and beatings made her join a new morality, the essence of which is allowed. " Nevertheless, the career of two actors developed. Under the influence of Romi, Delon began to read more, in his game the depth appeared, which was not before. A "Cute Austrian Bun" turned into a serious dramatic actress. It changed and externally: acquired elegance and chic. Not the last role in this was played by the legendary Coco Chanel, under the leadership of which Romi has improved his figure with the help of diet, gymnastics and pools, hesitated the ability to dress stylishly.
In 1963, Schneider was invited to Hollywood on the shooting of the film "Process". It was there that she learned about the next intrigue of Delon. She came to the eyes of the newspaper with his photo: he holds a pretty blonde's pretty blonde on his knees, under a picture of a playful signature: "Flirt or love?" Alain called on the same day, accused reporters who chase for cheap sensations, assured in his love ... Nevertheless, Romi anticipated the unkind. Returning to Paris, she discovered an empty apartment. On the table stood a bouquet of black roses. Under them is a note: "We were married, did not have time to get married. We do not see at all and are encountered only at airports ... I return you freedom and leave your heart. " Soon, Delon married the most pretty blonde, actress Natalie Bartelemy.

Goodbye my doll!
"After the treason of Alena, I was destroyed, confused, humiliated. If it depended on me, I would never leave him ... and before there were moments when I said to myself: it's time to finish! But I had no strength. I loved him very much and goodbye, "said Romi. All his life, she will try to overcome their attraction to a man who rejected her. Although it would seem, fate provided actress a chance to fulfill their dream about a cozy home and children. In 1966, she married Harry Mayen's playwright. He adored Romi, left his spouse for her for more than twelve years. Soon the couple was born the son of David. In this union, Romi finally found love, and warmth, and respect, and support. In her diary she writes: "Years spent with Alain were wild, insane. With Harry, I finally calmed down. " But the one-sole call of Delone was enough to destroy the illusion of happiness.
At that time, he was experiencing difficulty times: even the appearance of the son of the Son Anthony did not save their marriage with Natalie. The latest works of Delon in the movies also did not enjoy success. The actor understood that only a new loud project could save his career. It was he who convinced producers to invite Mother Romi Schneder to the main role in the film "Pool". They considered that the interest of the public to the relations of long-year beloved would serve as excellent PR, and agreed. And the status of Schneider as a married lady and the mother only added piquant. Romi agreed - for her it was a chance to return to work and again meet with a man she loved, no matter what.
The film caused a considerable excitement, they bought it many European countries. The newspapers were replicated by a passionately kissing couple, which seemed to experienced a new round of romantic relationships in a chic resort Saint-Tropez. But in response to the questions of reporters of Delon with laughter answered: "The fact that we were once gained, for a long time forgotten. This time we love each other exactly according to the script. " However, everything was different for Romi: "My heart again laid the heat of the first love. I understood that I do something terrible, but I could not resist. Delon revived me to life from which I wanted to leave ... "Alas, as they say, the meeting was short. After the filming of filming, windy handsome persecuted, leaving Romi to lick soulful wounds.
On the shooting of the old feelings of Romi to Delon flashed with a new force

Harry Mayen could not help but notice the changes raised with his wife. He realized that her feelings for Delon did not die, their relationship was given a crack. The Mayen threw the work, addicted to the alcohol. The subsequent divorce and did not drive him into the state of the deepest depression. In the end he hanged himself on the cervical scarf of Romi in his Hamburg apartment. The actress painfully survived his death, experiencing a sense of guilt. After that, a series of tragic and unpleasant events followed. Romi divorced with a second husband, she was removed by the kidney, but the worst thing that had to be survived - the death of the beloved son of David. Fourteen-year-old teenagers died in a ridiculous accident: climbing through a metal fence, ran into a sharp rod. Romi reminded the wounded animal, she closed in himself, saw, sat on tranquilizers and did not want to see anyone ... besides Delon.
Let him not be able to give her family happiness, but he managed to become a good friend. It was Alain that took over all the concerns on the organization of the funeral of David. He was the only person whose society could take an actress. Later he will write in a farewell letter: "After the film" Swimming "you became my sister, and I - my brother. Our relationship was bright and clean. There was no longer passion. Her place was taken by a more beautiful feeling - friendship ... "Perhaps everything was it for him. And the life of Romi lost all meaning.
She died on the night from 29 to May 30, 1982. No one could believe that the heart of a 44-year-old woman just stopped. A version of suicide was expressed, which did not confirm doctors later. Delon was awesome. All night he sat near the head of the dead Romi, writing her a farewell letter. Then he was published the magazine "Pari-Match" under the heading "Goodbye, my doll!". It had such words: "I tell me that you are dead. Is I guilty about this? Yes, this because of me your heart stopped fighting. Because of me, because twenty five years ago I was made by your partner in Cristina. He made three pictures of a dead beloved, with whom it does not part.
Since then, many years have passed. In the life of Delon there were still women. The last wife is a model from Holland Rosalie Van Bremen - possessed not only beautiful appearance, but also by the mind, knew several languages and received a bachelor's degree. She gave him two children: the daughter of Annunka and the son of Alena-Fabien. And was the only one of all the women of Delon, who broke with him herself. For an aging actor, it has become a blow. He was hard worried about the gap. The last film of the stars of French cinema is a movie "Happy New Year, Moms!" In which he played in 2012. Recently, the press flashed a message about the fact that the actor no longer wants to film. Journalists commented on this decision: "He, like an old elephant, prefers to die alone. Closed in the vessel memories ... "
