Biography & Career Of Jane Seymour

Jane Seymour OBE is a well-known British-American actress, author, philanthropist, and businesswoman. Jane Seymour was awarded the OBE in 2000.

Jane Seymour Education

Jane Seymour’s obsession with ballet drove her to study at Wimbledon High School, Arts Educational Trust, where she received additional instruction and skill development.

Jane Seymour Career

After an unsuccessful ballet career, Jane Seymour renamed herself after the legendary King Henry VIII’s third wife, who is the only survivor of her husband’s penchant for beheading his brides.

She also played the role of Solitaire in the James Bond film Live and Let Die when she was 20 years old.
Her performance earned her consistent TV and film work, the majority of which was mainstream fare, including appearances on episodic shows such as Battlestar Galactica and McCloud.

Jane Seymour’s performance in the 1976 miniseries Captains and Kings earned her an Emmy nomination and cemented her reputation as the “Queen of the Miniseries.”

More than a decade later, she was awarded an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or Special for her brilliant performance as Maria Callas in the ABC television film Onassis: The Richest Man in the World, a biopic of Aristotle Onassis.

Jane Seymour portrayed Lady Brett Ashley in an NBC television adaptation of Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises in 1984.

Then she played Dr Michaela Quinn in one of her most extensive series, Dr Quinn: Medicine Woman.
When it first aired in 1993, critics largely dismissed it as being too phoney for American audiences. However, the show drew 22 million viewers after that, earning it a Saturday-night time slot.

Dr Quinn was on the air for six seasons and earned Jane Seymour two Emmy nominations. She reprised her role in several made-for-TV movies after the show was cancelled.

In addition, Jane Seymour collaborated with her ex-husband James Keach on other projects, including Catfish Productions.

The couple has also written a series of children’s books, and Jane Seymour launched her clothing line, Jane Seymour Signature Collection, in the spring of 2002.
That same year, Jane Seymour signed a lucrative deal with Saks Fifth Avenue to develop and sell children’s clothing lines and exclusive home products.

She also continued to appear on television and in films. She also had a recurring role on another show called Smallville from 2004 to 2005.

Jane Seymour appeared in the short-lived comedy Modern Men the following year. Then, in 2005, she proved to be quite a scene-stealer in a hit comedy titled Wedding Crashers, starring Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, much to the surprise of viewers.

Jane Seymour moved on to a new challenge in the fall of 2007, when she competed in the fifth season of Dancing With the Stars, reaching the show’s seventh round.
Since then, Jane Seymour has appeared in a number of television shows, including Castle and Franklin & Bash.

She also continued to appear in made-for-TV films, such as 2012’s Lake Effects.
Jane Seymour spends a lot of time these days working on her art. She exhibited in galleries across the country.

In addition to fine art, she sells a line of beautiful jewellery called Open Hearts, as well as a skincare programme and furniture and home accessories. She also founded the Open Hearts Foundation, which helps charities in the arts, education, health, and sports.

Private Life

Jane Seymour holds her head high, fully aware that her fashion sense is admired by many, even at her age. She is tall and healthy, standing 5 feet 4 inches (1.63 m) tall and weighing 110 pounds (50 kg).

Her body measurements are 35-24-34 inches, with a breast size of 35C, a waist size of 24 inches, and hips of 34 inches. Her lovely hair is light brown, and her eyes are greenish.

Jane Seymour’s career may have been a huge success, but her married life is a different story. The actress has four marriages and four divorces.

First, when she was 20, Jane Seymour married Michael Attenborough, the son of famous British director Sir Richard Attenborough. The marriage, however, was short-lived.

Jane Seymour remarried in 1977, this time to a businessman named Geoffrey Planer, but the couple divorced after a year.

In 1981, she returned to the processional with her then-business manager, David Flynn. The couple had two children, Katie Flynn and Sean Flynn, but divorced in 1992.

Jane Seymour also met actor-director James Keach in 1992. In May 1993, the two exchanged vows at a wedding. Jane Seymour gave birth to twins through the union in 1996, bringing the family total to six (including step-daughter Jenny Flynn and stepson Kalen Keach). The couple, however, divorced in 2015.

Jane Seymour has remained single and has not been reported in any relationship since, as she despises herself for caring for her children.

Jane Seymour enjoys painting as a hobby, and she is quite good at it. Her favourite foods are garlic, smoked salmon with nutty bread, hard bread with lots of grains, and her favourite destinations are London and New York. Her favourite colours are red and pink.
