Maria Schneider, Paris, 1969

A bit of a wild child, not exactly innocent in anything but looks, I met her around
1969, she was 16ish. I wanted to shoot her sitting on the floor with a tatty old
doll looking like a neglected kid, but she wasn't having that. In place of the doll
she wanted a gun. Later she told me about a part in a film she'd been offered, with
Marlon Brando. I thought OK, a bit part, walk on extra whatever as she'd not acted
much before. I was wrong."Last Tango in Paris" made quite a splash, but I wasn't too surprised 
at some of the scenes, she was quite a precocious child, you might say advanced for her age. 
Sweet kid though.
