Rare vintage 3.5 x 5.25-inch black and white German "Berolina Film" postcard portrait, boldly signed in black fountain pen in the 1950s. In good condition. Acclaimed Austrian-born beauty Romy Schneider was memorable in Sissi (1955), Sissi: The Young Empress (1956), The Trial (1962), and That Most Important Thing: Love (1975). She also made a number of contributions to the horror, sci-fi and fantasy genres, including Boccaccio '70 (1962), The Trial (1962), Le Trio Inferno (1971), Death Watch (1980), and Fantasma d'Amore (1981). In 1982, despondent over the accidental death of her son, she committed suicide by an overdose of sleeping pills, aged only 43 years.
