I'm reading a book at the mo where Schell describes himself as Swiss (but born in Vienna, moved to Switzerland when he was 8). Any objections to changing it? Ranger Steve ( talk) 11:35, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
I saw a production in Vienna in which Schell somewhat improbably played the part of Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady. I read later somewhere that the play "bombed" and that Schell brought a lawsuit against the producer, arguing that he should never have been cast in it. Can anyone shed any further light on this? Thanks. Partnerfrance ( talk) 22:08, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
I have read online (here http://www.lettersofnote.com/2010/01/but-he-never-calls-me.html ) that Schell wrote an open letter to the Hollywood Reporter in 1993 in open support of Michael Jackson during the first accusations of child abuse. This is an interesting tit-bit - can anyone find any supporting evidence for this apart from the site mentioned above? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.185.169.123 ( talk) 02:41, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
I deleted the personal life section which was unsourced, except for a claim with no page numbers. Citation needed had been present for more than two years Catherinejarvis ( talk) 18:04, 12 January 2013 (UTC) - - - - I've noticed that a number of sources indicate that he is divorced from Natalya Andreychenko. Among these sources are the mini Google bio and Wikipedia itself, under her bio. It's kinda funny that this bio lists them as married and her bio lists them as divorced. It appears they are indeed divorced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Web4web ( talk • contribs) 23:45, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
To whomever moderates this article, I want you to know that I made a minor change in this section. It was previously noted at the end of the paragraph that he played "the father in the science fiction thriller Deep Impact." How it was worded stated that there was only one father in the film when in actuality there were at least three. You may be forgetting about the fathers of the two teens played by Leelee Sobieski and Elijah Wood. So I changed it from "the father" to "a father".

The article currently contains the following sentence:
In Schell's private life, he was an accomplished pianist and conductor, performing with Claudio Abbado and Leonard Bernstein, and with orchestras in Berlin and Vienna.
From this are we to conclude that Schell and Bernstein had private concerts with a full orchestra, in their backyards? I think that the intent of this may be quite beautiful (is it heralding Schell's amazing versatility of talent?), but as written it makes no sense. Un sch ool 03:11, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
The article currently mentions two 1955 movies that Schell acted in, Jackboot Mutiny and The Plot to Assassinate Hitler. Isn't there a mistake here and aren't they the same movie? Per$1$tenceofv1$1on ( talk) 18:37, 28 May 2023 (UTC)Per$1$tenceofv1$1on
