Sheila had worked with her father at the Windmill Theatre from her teens. He inherited it in 1944, and left it to her on his death in 1960. But the changing nature of Soho in London caused it to close in 1964. In 1965, Sheila van Damm toured the Tivoli Circuit Theatres in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia, with her show, "The Windmill Revue". The show featured a number of former Windmill Theatre artistes. This in turn led her to retire with her sister to their small farm in Pulborough in Sussex. She died in London on 23 August 1987.
