Maria Schneider (born March 27, 1952 in Paris) is a French actress who is most famous for playing "Jeanne" opposite Marlon Brando in the 1972 motion picture Last Tango in Paris. She did numerous full-frontal scenes in the film, which were controversial for the time.
Born as Marie Christine Gélin, she is the daughter of French actor Daniel Gélin and German model Marie-Christine Schneider. Following her success and critical acclaim in Last Tango in Paris she disappeared from film for some time, reportedly becoming addicted to heroin.
In 1974, Schneider came out as bisexual. In early 1976, she abandoned the film set for Caligula and checked herself into a mental hospital in Rome for several days with a woman she described as her lover. This, coupled with her refusal to do nudity, led to Maria's dismissal and she was replaced by Teresa Ann Savoy.
Schneider did not work in film for several years, though she eventually resumed her career, appearing in over 30, mostly European films.
Maria Schneider (born November 27, 1960) is an American composer.
