Maria
Schneider at age 19 in the Last Tango In
Paris Maria
Schneider Maria
Schneider (March 27, 1952
–-February 3, 2011) Aged 58--
French actress best known for playing
Jeanne, opposite Marlon Brando in the
1972 motion picture, Last Tango in
Paris. Last Tango in
Paris is best known for the intense
and erotic love scenes between Maria
Schnieder and Marlon Brando. Schneider met her
father only three times in her life,
and took her mother's maiden name. In
1974, Schneider came out as bisexual.
In early 1976, she quit the set of the
film Caligula and entered a
mental hospital in Rome for several
days with a woman she described as her
lover. This, coupled with her refusal
to do any more on-screen nudity, led to
Schneider's dismissal from
Caligula. Maria Schneider's
life in the 1970s continued to be
troubled. She fell into drug addiction,
survived drug overdoses, and a made an
unsuccessful suicide attempt. By the
1980s, however, she had turned her life
around. She has spoken of relationships
with women before and, in 1975, went to
a mental hospital in Rome and committed
herself as a voluntary patient in order
to be with her lover, photographer Joan
Townsend. On July 1, 2010
Maria Scheider was awarded the medal of
Chevalier, Ordre des Arts et des
Lettres for her contributions to the
arts by Minister of Culture and
Communication, Frédéric
Mitterrand, who acted with her in
Jacques Rivette's film,
Merry-Go-Round. Maria Schneider died
in Februrary, 2011 of
cancer. La Vieille
