Personal Quote:

I've worked with the biggest tyrants: [Otto Preminger] Preminger, [Orson Welles] Welles, [Luchino Visconti] Visconti. Despots - they have contempt for most actors. When they meet someone who stands up to them, everything's great. See more »

Trivia:

Good friend, Simone Signoret, convinced Romy to do her last film, La passante du Sans-Souci (1982), after the tragic death of her son, David Haubenstock. See more »
