Who is Jane Seymour?

Jane Seymour’s name is synonymous with class, elegance and magnificence. Movie-goers remember her role as the foxy vixen, ‘Solitaire’ in the quick-paced James Bond classic, ‘Live and Let Die’. A ballet buff, Seymour has grown to become one of the most admired television and film actresses in Hollywood and around the world. Her USP lies in the fact that the roles she chooses are just as stimulating and numinous as her magnetic personality. From playing Bond’s love interest to the quirky, provocative Dr. Quinn in ‘Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman’, she has gone from being a simple girl with simple ballet dreams to becoming the reigning queen of Television movies in the 20th century. Although her professional life was fruitful, her personal life was not that rosy. She has been married four times and has faced several personal tragedies in her family. Never one to ease off on the work front, her first publication, ‘Jane Seymour’s Guide to Romantic Living’ went on to become an international best-seller and she soon went on to publish a series of other successful children’s books. Whilst still acting, she also devotes a considerable amount of time to painting and also to her growing fashion empire.

She trained for a brief period of time at the Arts Educational Trust for dance and also trained under the famous Russian Ballet dancer, Kirov Ballet.
