Biography

Catherine Schell was born Catherina Schell von Bauschlott, to a baron(?) in Hungary, before her family escaped the Communist takeover, and renounced their titles (on emigrating to the U.S.), when she was only a few years old. She grew up in the United States and later Munich, then went into acting, primarily in British productions, but also other (mostly European) productions. Met William Marlow^, an actor "Amsterdam Affair" (1968 movie), and they later married (and divorced). She was initially known as Catherina von Schell, before changing it to Catherine Schell. She is probably best known for roles as Maya in Space: 1999, and as Lady Litton in "Return of the Pink Panther." After three decades in the movies and television, she (mostly) retired from acting to write and to run a bed and breakfast in the French countryside, with her second husband (he died in 2006 or so).
