Interview with Romy Schneider from 1981
Directors often used Romy's sensitivity, fragility, sincerity and empathy.
Andrzej Zutawski, the director of L'important c'est d'aimer, for example, said the following:
"One of her most outstanding qualities was her sincerity.
She could not cheat; she was utterly honest. Her emotions on screen were no different from those in real life. So I used her, as we all did."
