When Space 1999 was airing in the states, the US TV Guide had an interview with Schell. She talked about her jungle girl movie, claiming she'd attached leaves and twigs to herself for the sake of modesty, but the director yanked 'em off and pushed her in front of the camera. (Nah, I didn't believe it either.)
Nile aired on US network TV in '72, I think. Who did Schell play, Mrs Baker? The show was wall-to-wall topless black women but I don't remember any white tits. No doubt the network censor cut them. (Just as most of the US TV runs of Shaka Zulu left the black nudity completely intact but trimmed a butt shot of white actor Robert Powell in a washtub.)
