| BIOGRAPHY
The raven-haired daughter of a prosperous British gynecologist,
Jane Seymour made her stage debut at 13 as a member of the London
Festival Ballet, after training at the Arts Educational School.
Five years later, she switched to acting, making her screen bow
as part of a huge ensemble in Oh, What A Lovely War! (1968).
She entered the fan-mag files with her portrayal of the enigmatic
Solitaire in the 1973 James Bond epic Live and Let Die, following
this with a barely dressed ingenue turn in Sinbad and the Eye
of the Tiger (1974).
While her subesquent film appearances were well-received (as
was her engagement in the 1980 Broadway production of Amadeus),
Seymour's larger fame rested on her prolific TV work, notably
on such miniseries as "East of Eden" and "War and
Remembrance."
In 1988, she won an Emmy for her portrayal of Maria Callas in
the TV miniseries "Onassis."
Four years later, she landed one of her most successful roles
to date, that of the title heroine of the TV series Dr. Quinn,
Medicine Woman. Although the popular show eventually went off
the air, Seymour starred in its made-for-TV movie version in 1999. |
