Maurice Bienvenu Jean Paul Trintignant (30 October 1917, Sainte-Cécile-les-Vignes, Vaucluse – 13 February 2005, Nîmes) was a motor racing driver and vintner from France. He competed in the Formula One World Championship for fourteen years, between 1950 and 1964, one of the longest careers in the early years of F1. During this time he also competed in sports car racing, including winning the 1954 24 Hours of Le Mans race. Following his retirement from the track Trintignant concentrated on the wine trade.

Maurice Trintignant was the brother of Bugatti race car driver Louis Trintignant — who was killed in 1933, in practice, at Péronne, Picardie — and the uncle of renowned French film actor Jean-Louis Trintignant.

Racing career

He began racing in 1938, and won the 1939 Grand Prix des Frontières, but his career was interrupted by World War II, during which his own Bugatti was stored in a barn. When he rebuilt it for a 1945 event, the ''Coupé de la Liberation'', he overlooked a clogged fuel filter, which caused him to drop out of the event. It transpired that the filter was plugged with rat droppings, earning him the unenviable nickname ''Le Petoulet'', "the rat-droppings".

By 1950 ''Le Petoulet'' was successful enough to be offered a works drive for the Gordini team, in the newly-formed Formula One World Championship racing series. He competed in F1 every year until his retirement after the 1964 season. During this long career Trintignant scored two victories, at the Monaco Grand Prix in 1955 and 1958. 1954 and 1955 were his best Championship years, and he finished 4th in the drivers championship in both.

During the course of his career Trintignant drove a huge variety of cars, for many different teams: both works and privateer. Unusually, at the 1955 Argentine Grand Prix Trintignant shared both second and third places, a product of the Scuderia Ferrari policy of passing cars to their top drivers, should their original car break down. In 1956 he drove the Bugatti Type 251 in the French Grand Prix, becoming the last driver to represent the famed marque at a Grand Prix race. Even in his final season, driving his own BRM P57, he scored points, taking fifth place at the 1964 German Grand Prix on the intimidating Nürburgring.

Following his retirement from racing, Maurice Trintignant returned to a quiet life as a wine-grower (naming his vintage ''Le Petoulet''), near the town of Vergèze, in the Languedoc-Roussillon wine growing region, where he would eventually be elected mayor. Trintignant died, aged 87, in 2005.

Trevor Taylor (26 December 1936, Sheffield – 27 September 2010) was a British motor racing driver from England.

The son of a garage owner from Rotherham, Trevor Taylor was the product of later period of 500cc Formula 3 racing, initially using a Staride and later Cooper Norton. Ten victories in 1958 earned him the British Formula 3 Championship and, after a frustrating year in 1959 spent with his own F2 Cooper, he received an invitation to run his own Lotus 18 as a second works car for 1960.

He participated in 29 World Championship Formula One Grands Prix, debuting on 18 July 1959. During his career he achieved one podium, and scored a total of eight championship points. He also participated in numerous non-Championship Formula One races. Taylor is also credited with inventing the yellow stripe that ran down the middle of Team Lotus cars during the 1960s.

Romy Schneider (23 September 193829 May 1982) was an Austrian-born German film actress who also held French citizenship.

Early life

Schneider was born Rosemarie Magdalena Albach in Nazi-era Vienna, six months after the Anschluss, into a family of actors that included her paternal grandmother Rosa Albach-Retty, her Austrian father Wolf Albach-Retty and her German mother Magda Schneider. After her parents' divorce in 1945, Magda took charge of Romy and her brother Wolfi, eventually supervising the young girl's career, often appearing alongside her daughter. Her career was also overseen by her stepfather, Hans Herbert Blatzheim, a noted restaurateur who Schneider indicated had an unhealthy interest in her.

Career

Romy Schneider's first film, made when she was 15, was ''Wenn der weiße Flieder wieder blüht'' (''When the White Lilacs Bloom Again'') in 1953, credited as Romy Schneider-Albach. In 1954, Schneider for the first time portrayed a royal, playing a young Queen Victoria in the Austrian film ''Mädchenjahre einer Königin'' (known in the U.S. as ''The Story of Vicky'' and in Britain as ''Victoria in Dover''). Schneider's breakthrough came with her portrayal of Elisabeth, Empress Consort of Austria, in the romantic biopic ''Sissi'' (1955) and its two sequels, ''Sissi – The Young Empress'' (1956) and ''Sissi – Fateful Years of an Empress'' (1957), all with Karlheinz Böhm, who became a close friend. Less stereotypical films during this busy period include ''Robinson soll nicht sterben'' (''The Legend of Robinson Crusoe'') (1957) putting her among a stellar cast and opposite a young Horst Buchholz, and ''Monpti'' (1957), directed by Helmut Käutner and again opposite Buchholz.

Schneider soon starred in ''Christine'' (1958), a remake of Max Ophüls's 1933 film ''Liebelei'' (itself based upon a play by Arthur Schnitzler and starring her mother Magda Schneider). It was during the filming of ''Christine'' that Schneider fell in love with French actor Alain Delon, who co-starred in the movie. She left Germany to join him in Paris and they announced their engagement in 1959.

Schneider decided to live and to work in France, slowly gaining the interest of film directors such as Orson Welles for ''The Trial'' (1962), based upon Franz Kafka's ''The Trial'' and was introduced by Delon to Luchino Visconti.

Under Visconti's direction, she gave performances in the Théâtre Moderne as Annabella (and Delon as Giovanni) in John Ford's stage play '''Tis Pity She's a Whore'' (1961) and in the film ''Boccaccio '70'' (segment: "The Job"). In 1962 Schneider played Anna in Sacha Pitoëff's production of Chekhov's play ''The Seagull'', also at the Théâtre Moderne. A brief stint in Hollywood included appearances in ''Good Neighbor Sam'', a 1964 comedy with Jack Lemmon, and 1965 ''What's New Pussycat?'' co-starring Peter O'Toole, Peter Sellers and Woody Allen who also wrote the screenplay.

Schneider and Delon decided to split up in 1963 although they remained close lifelong friends and continued to work together in such films as ''La Piscine'' (''The Swimming Pool'') (1968) and ''The Assassination of Trotsky'' (1972).

Schneider continued to work in France during the 1970s, most notably with director Claude Sautet on five occasions. Their first collaboration, ''Les choses de la vie'' (1970) with Michel Piccoli, was a huge success and made Schneider a household name in France. The three teamed up again for the noir thriller ''Max et les Ferrailleurs'' (1971), and she appeared opposite Yves Montand in Sautet's ''César et Rosalie'' (1972). Other successes included ''Le Train'' (1973), where she played a German-Jewish refugee in World War 2, Claude Chabrol's thriller ''Les innocents aux mains sales'' (1975) opposite Rod Steiger, and ''Le vieux fusil'' (1975). The gritty ''L'important c'est d'aimer'' (1974) garnered her first César Award (France's equivalent of the Oscar), a feat she repeated five years later, in her last collaboration with Sautet, for ''Une histoire simple '' (1978).

On 30 October 1974, Schneider created one of the most memorable moments on German television. She was the second guest on Dietmar Schönherr's talk show ''Je später der Abend'' (''The Later the Evening'') when she, after a rather terse interview, remarked passionately to the last guest, bank robber and author Burkhard Driest: "Sie gefallen mir. Sie gefallen mir sehr." (I like you. I like you a lot.)

''Ludwig'', Visconti's 1972 film about the life of King Ludwig II of Bavaria, featured her as a much more complex, mature, even bitter Elisabeth of Austria. "Sissi sticks to me just like oatmeal", Schneider once said.

She also acted in ''Le Trio infernal'' (1974) with Michel Piccoli, and in ''Garde à vue'' (1981) with Michel Serrault and Lino Ventura. An unpleasant incident occurred during this period with leading German film director Rainer Werner Fassbinder who wanted her to play the lead in his 1979 film ''The Marriage of Maria Braun''. Negotiations broke down when he called Schneider a "dumb cow" and Schneider responded by declaring she would never work with such a beast as Fassbinder.

In 1980 she starred in Bertrand Tavernier's ''Death Watch'' (''La mort en direct''), based on David G. Compton's novel, playing a dying woman whose last days are watched on national television via a camera implanted in the brain of a journalist (Harvey Keitel). Her last film was ''La Passante du Sans-Souci'' (''The Passerby''), (1982).

Personal life

In July 1966 Schneider married Harry Meyen (1924–1979), a German director and actor who committed suicide in Hamburg, Germany in 1979. The couple had a son, David Christopher, born on December 3, 1966. David died at the age of 14 on 5 July 1981. He had attempted to climb the spiked fence at his stepfather's parents' home when he punctured his femoral artery.

In 1975, Schneider married Daniel Biasini, her private secretary; they separated in 1981. Their daughter Sarah Biasini (born 21 July 1977) is now an actress.

Death

thumb|upright|Grave of Romy Schneider and her son in Boissy-sans-Avoir Schneider began drinking alcohol in excess after the death of her son David. When she was found dead in her apartment in Paris on 29 May 1982, it was suggested that she had committed suicide by taking a lethal cocktail of alcohol and sleeping pills. After another post-mortem examination was carried out, authorities declared that she had died from cardiac arrest. Her tombstone at Boissy-sans-Avoir in the Canton of Montfort-l'Amaury bears the name Rosemarie Albach. Shortly afterwards, Alain Delon arranged for David to be buried in the same grave.

Enduring popularity

The French journalist Eugène Moineau initiated in 1984 the Prix Romy Schneider; this prize—the most prestigious award for promising actresses in the French film industry—is awarded by a jury each year in Paris in conjunction with the Prix Patrick Dewaere (formerly the Prix Jean Gabin). In 1990, the Austrian newspaper ''Kurier'' created the Romy TV Award in honour of Schneider. In 2003, she was voted 78th on the list of the greatest Germans in the German TV programme Unsere Besten (the German version of 100 Greatest Britons)—the second highest ranked actress (Marlene Dietrich was 50th) on that list. Until 2002, the Austrian Federal Railways InterCity service IC 535 from Wien Südbahnhof to Graz was named "Romy Schneider".

A movie about Schneider's life, titled ''Eine Frau wie Romy/Une femme comme Romy'' (A Woman Like Romy) was planned by Warner Bros. for 2009; Schneider's role was going to be played by Yvonne Catterfeld. The project was cancelled in July 2009. A musical about Schneider, ''Romy – Die Welt aus Gold'' (''Romy – The Golden World'') was premiered in 2009 at the Theater Heilbronn. In November 2009 the ARD broadcast the feature film ''Romy'' with Jessica Schwarz in the title role.
