Retirement
Schell's acting career continued into the mid-1990s, after which she retired from acting and opened Chambre d'Hôtes Valentin, a small guesthouse in Bonneval, Haute-Loire, France which was a popular destination for fans of Space: 1999. She reportedly sold the inn after her husband died.
Schell made her first convention appearance in New York during MainMission:2000, the 25th anniversary convention for Space:1999, but has appeared only one other time at a convention, largely due to the declining health of her second husband, Bill Hays, who died 6 March 2006.

Famous quotes containing the word retirement:
“Adultery itself in its principle is many times nothing but a curious inquisition after, and envy of another man’s enclosed pleasures: and there have been many who refused fairer objects that they might ravish an enclosed woman from her retirement and single possessor.”

“Convent. A place of retirement for women who wish for leisure to meditate upon the sin of idleness.”

“Douglas. Now remains a sweet reversion—
We may boldly spend, upon the hope
Of what is to come in.
A comfort of retirement lives in this.
Hotspur. A rendezvous, a home to fly unto.”
