Reviews
"A terrific translation by fellow actress Ringwald makes this concise, harrowing book a powerful read."-- Library Journal "A touching tribute... Maria Schneider, with all her adventures and struggles, deserves to be better remembered, and her cousin shows us why. This stunning tale of Maria Schneider and her battles is stark yet consistently loving--and unforgettable." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Translated by actress Ringwald, this is an intriguing addition to the growing body of literature reexamining women's agency through a post-#MeToo lens." -- Booklist "With devastating power and great originality of style, this gorgeous memoir shows the film industry's brutality toward young women and the ways in which shame can waft into a sensitive girl's bedroom like a draft under a door. In Molly Ringwald's luminous translation, Vanessa Schneider's love letter to her famous actress cousin--and to her own 1970s French bohemian childhood--delivers the emotional impact of great fiction while also faithfully telling an important true-life story about misogyny in our time." --Ada Calhoun, author of Why We Can't Sleep and Also a Poet "Composed like a posthumous love letter to her cousin, Vanessa Schneider's memoir captures their sisterly bond with tenderness and grace. It is an exquisite portrait of a tragic heroine, whose story offers a heartrending example of the cruelty of powerful men" -- Violaine Huisman, author of The Book of Mother "Bertolucci made Maria Schneider a star and ruined her life when he cast her in Last Tango in Paris (1972). At 19, she was an authentic sensation and the hottest thing on screen. She was also an exploitable sex object--Bertolucci and Brando, Maria's co-star, never told her that Brando was going to shove butter between her legs--and the butt of a very dirty joke. Aided by translator Molly Ringwald (who understands better than most how perilous the film business can be for young actresses), Vanessa tells Maria's story with empathy and indignation. By the end of the book, the reader understands what it's like to live a life in which public and private, personality and persona violently clash, a life without a safety net."-- Lili Anolik, author of Hollywood's Eve "In this lovingly written memoir we read our way through the operatic coming of age story of Maria Schneider, the young French actor, who dives gracefully into the combat zone of the extremely competitive film industry, surfaces many times, and then loses sight of land in her own struggle with drugs. I had to know, had to read about Maria as told by her younger, adoring and devoted cousin, Vanessa."-- Deborah Harry, author of Face It , co-founder and frontwoman of Blondie International praise for My Cousin Maria Schneider "Schneider breathes life back into Maria through this beautiful text--a story with its share of joys and monsters, where emotion is always just beneath the surface."-- Marie-France "An elegy that never gushes... taut with restrained emotion." -- Livres Hebdo "A devastating book."-- Vogue France "As disturbing as it is moving, this book reminds us that Maria Schneider was also, beyond the legend, a woman full of life."-- Madame "Vanessa Schneider's writing rings strong and true."-- Challenges "An incredibly moving love letter."-- Le Figaro

Synopsis
"A beautiful eulogy and a much-needed corrective" ( The New York Times )--a love letter to Maria Schneider, the 1970s movie starlet who catapulted to fame in the controversial film Last Tango in Paris --only to live the rest of her life plagued by scandal, as told from the perspective of her adoring younger cousin. The late French actress Maria Schneider is perhaps best known for playing Jeanne in the provocative film Last Tango in Paris , directed by Bernardo Bertolucci and released to international shock and acclaim in 1972. It was Maria's first major role, alongside film legend Marlon Brando, when she was barely eighteen years old. The experience would haunt her for the rest of her life, traumatizing her and sparking a tabloid firestorm that only ceased when she began to retreat from the public eye nearly two decades later. To Maria's much younger cousin, Vanessa Schneider, Maria was a towering figure of another kind--a beautiful and fearsome fixture in Vanessa's childhood, a rising star turned pariah whose career and struggles with addiction won the family shame and pride in equal measure. Here, Vanessa recounts the challenges of their overlapping youths and fraught adulthood and reveals both the tragedy and inevitability of Maria's path in a family plagued by mental illness and in a society rife with misogyny. Unsentimental and moving, My Cousin Maria Schneider is a love letter to a talented artist and the cousin who admired her, and a powerful story of exploitation and how its lingering effects can reverberate through a lifetime.
