"Romy is the love of my life" - Alain Delon

Johnny Hallyday, Alain Delon and Romy Schneider. 1960s

"Romy Schneider is the most beautiful woman I have ever met in my life. But Delon was there first. I was in love with Romy. Delon was very jealous. She was his property...there are invisible threads between Alain and me. Romy - that was the wound of his life. Her career has been fabulous but nothing has been easy. It all happened in despair, alcohol, doubts. God, what this woman has endured! Her death shook me. Romy had moved me so much. A very sad year. I divorced Babeth Etienne after a year of marriage. I was burying one more love story and the love of Alain's life. Romy's funeral, what a wound. " - Johnny Hallyday(Dans mes yeux, 2013), who was one of the best friends of Alain until his death

Fondly i remember the early Delon, fiery, enchanting, and quicksilver, in particular this splendid period when he lived his love with Romy Schneider. I was living their love story up close and they were both one of the most beautiful couples I have ever seen, both in movies and in life... there was a question of marriage, but Romy's family was against this union...
