Catherine Schell (born Katherina Freiin Schell von Bauschlott, 17 July 1944) is a Hungarian-born actress best known for her work in British television, in particular her portrayal of Maya in the science-fiction series ''Space: 1999''. Schell came to prominence in various British film and television productions of the 1960s and 1970s. Although she acted under the name "Catherine von Schell" and "Katherina von Schell" ("Schell" is the family name; "von Bauschlott" indicates the region of Germany where the Schell family originated) early in her career, she is better known by the name "Catherine Schell". She is not related to the Austrian-Swiss actor siblings Maximilian and Maria Schell. ==Early life== Schell's father, Baron Paul Schell von Bauschlott, was a Hungarian diplomat; her mother was Countess Katharina Maria Etelka Georgina Elisabeth Teleki de Szék. At the start of the Second World War, her parents' estates were confiscated by the Nazis. Fleeing Hungary in advance of the Russians and Communism, the family lived in poverty until 1948, finding asylum in Austria: first in Vienna, then in Salzburg. In 1950, the family emigrated to the United States, where Schell's father acquired American citizenship. Schell entered a convent school in the New York City borough of Staten Island. In 1957, her father joined Radio Free Europe and the family moved to Munich, Germany, where Schell developed an interest in acting and attended the Otto Falckenberg School of the Performing Arts.〔"The Making of Space:1999" by Tim Heald, Ballantine Books, 1976, ISBN 978-0345252654 (p. 60)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Catherine Schell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
