During the '70s, Schneider traveled (including to the Hopi Reservation and Navajo Nation) and lived in various parts of Europe, including Venice, Paris, and London. After "The Passenger" and "Wanted: Babysitter", Schneider settled in Los Angeles for a year, looking around for film opportunities and being offered roles in Hollywood movies such as "Black Sunday" (1977) as a Palestinian guerilla terrorist, which she turned down based on what she perceived to be poor quality material. She signed up with renowned talent agent and producer Paul Kohner, and several movies were considered, but ultimately little came of this. Work became difficult for her to find, as she had become uninsurable.
