She also took part in The Statue (1970), starring alongside David Niven, and the more experimental Crystal Gazing (1982), which featured Gavin Richards. Additionally, Bell appeared in the TV movie Spectre (NBC, 1976–77), and later contributed to the TV movie Tumbledown (1989–1990), further showcasing her versatility.

As her career progressed, Bell became increasingly involved in television, with memorable roles in series such as Tenko (1984–85) and the long-running Agatha Christie’s Poirot (PBS, 1988–2013). She also participated in a number of television specials, including Christabel (PBS, 1988–89) and Second Time Around (PBS, 1992–93). Despite her growing television presence, Bell continued to work in film, landing a role in Champions (1983), and later appeared in When Saturday Comes (1997), a sports drama starring Sean Bean, as well as The Land Girls (1998), alongside Catherine McCormack.

In addition to her film work, Bell remained active in television, with appearances in Anna Lee: The Cook’s Tale (1993–94), further solidifying her presence in the medium. Her performance in The Forsyte Saga (2002–04) marked one of her more recent and prominent roles, highlighting a career that has spanned both film and television with consistent dedication and adaptability.

Trivia

Ann Bell’s most acclaimed movie is Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors (1965), which has received high praise and recognition over the years. On the other hand, her least appreciated work includes Captain America (1990), which, in comparison, didn’t resonate as strongly with audiences or critics. While Ann Bell’s filmography features a range of performances, these two titles stand out as notable examples of her career’s highs and lows. Ann Bell’s role in Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors is often remembered fondly by fans and critics alike, whereas her appearance in Captain America tends to be viewed as a less successful chapter in her journey as an actress. Ann Bell’s contributions to both films, however, reflect her versatility and dedication to her craft.
