I found out today about the death of Maria Schneider.
I remember one of my favorite Antonioni film "Profession - Reporter "while most people associate me with the film" Last Tango in Paris ". The film that brought her fame and popularity was its undoing at the same time.
Maria Schneider was the daughter of French models originating in Romania and actor Daniel Gelin, who has never been recognized as a daughter, although it bore his name.
raised by his mother, decided at age 15, go to Paris and as a 17 year-old played it for the first time in the film. In 1972, Bertolucci has entrusted its main role in the film "Last Tango in Paris". For 20-year-old girl was the beginning and also the end of a great career. The next proposed roles were similar to the role that played it, and the sudden popularity of scandals related to the present, in most newspapers were invented by a huge problem for her. Four years later, interrupted work on the next film, Bertolucci ("Novecento") I've already had problems with alcohol and drugs. Stayed several times in psychiatric clinics and for cessation treatments.
Bertolucci say I read today in connection with the death of Maria Schneider. He said such "(...) Died much too early, before I could hug me and at least ask for forgiveness (...)"
She was one of the many victims of popularity, which destroys the existences of many people, especially young, fragile, or simply prepared or not possessing adequate "facilities" in the form of sympathetic relatives of people who help maintain the right balance between euphoria and reality of success.
do not know if the person giving rise to the "stars" ever wondered whether the fame and profit which is undoubtedly the main driver of their actions are worth it to destroy existences of people falling into their trap.
often happens, however, that parents themselves choose to add such way for their children or young people dreaming of popularity decides to sometimes humiliating situations in the public auditions in the guise of popular TV programs. Happy those who have this "popularity" will never reach, while those who succeed, are the most stars, one of the season and their subsequent fate are similar to the fate of Maria Schneider.
Although she succeeded to return to film in the late 80's and played it a few insignificant roles, died yesterday of cancer, but really, it died a long time ago - the broken heart.
