Trivia / Sissi (1955)

• Real-Life Relative: The two actresses who play Sissi and Ludovika (Romy and Madga Schneider) were mother and daughter in real life.
• Typecasting: Romy Schneider eventually came to resent her part as Sissi, as it defined her as an innocent romantic lead for most of her career. When she returned to the role in Ludwig fifteen years later, she insisted to portray the empress not as The Ingenue but as a more bitter, more cynical woman, as she was known to be in real life.
