“Inger was emotionally fragile. Fell in love with every leading man she worked with. That’s a lot of ups and downs.”
Sounds like trauma or a type of PTSD. From what I have read (along with a boatload of mandatory college psych classes), it’s not an uncommon trait among those wishing to cause self harm as a result of their low self-esteem stemming from unwanted and forced sexual experiences in their youth. You see that a lot in hookers and strippers as well.
“Casting couch”
That usually comes later. Many studies report that it all begins with something like date rape or forced sex when they were younger by any number of people including relatives. There is no safe harbor and the mental survivor mode activates.
It probably doesn’t help that when they are young and lovely they get hit on multiple times daily which hammers the already damaged psyche. A lot of that behavior is a result of very poor self image because they have been taken advantage of sexually and otherwise most of their entire life, and they feel “dirty” because of it. If they’re brought up in a very religious atmosphere and that happens, they feel like they’re going to hell and there’s no hope. Classic psychological response and damage.
Yes, earlier abuse is a clear possibility or even probability.

Why not just post the whole thing right here?

However, I also read,
She had love affairs with Oswalt Kolle and actor Bruno Ganz. She had a brief affair with Jean-Louis Trintignant while filming The Train. She also had in 1974 a brief affair with Jacques Dutronc while filming That Most Important Thing: Love.
Schneider appeared as one of 28 women under the banner "We've had abortions!" on the cover page of the West German magazine Stern on 6 June 1971. In that issue, 374 women publicly stated that they had had pregnancies terminated which at that time was illegal.
Her last romantic partner was film producer Laurent Pétin. In her 2018 biography "Romy Schneider intime," Alice Schwarzer revealed that Schneider confided to her that she had sexual relationships with women and was deeply in love with her close friend Simone Signoret.
However, I could certainly believe anyone with such a screwed up/nonexistent moral compass would go through life chronically depressed.
Gig Young and Brian Keith. Hollywood actors are Cra-Cra.
Golda Meir once said she was glad she wasn’t born beautiful because she was forced to develop qualities that weren’t reliant on her appearance. She was at the pinnacle of her achievements in her sixties and seventies.
I think that is true.
Norma Desmond.
But these two were in their thirties.
