McNichol retired from acting in the 1980s. Her last public statement was issued in 2001, when she said that while she appreciated her fans who would like to see her return to acting, she was busily -- and happily -- playing herself. She did appear at an autograph session in 2007 where it was agreed that she is doing well.
