After playing Brando’s young lover in Last Tango in Paris, Maria Schneider, who died last week, had a tumultuous life—and refused to be typecast. Holly Millea remembers the actress.
A native of Rapid City, South Dakota, Holly Millea has been a contributing editor at ELLE magazine since 2001 profiling celebrities and writing the award winning Beauty Adventure column. Prior to that she spent nine years as a senior writer for Premiere magazine, and two years as a senior writer for Talk magazine.

For ten years she interviewed actors and directors in the back of a checker cab driving around Manhattan for HBO's Up Front in the Back Seat.
