Jane Seymour certainly lives her life to the full - from conquering Hollywood while raising four children to staying strong after her marriages ended.
March 08, 2023 - 06:43 GMT Lily Waddell Jane Seymour certainly lives her life to the full - she's conquered Hollywood while raising four children, stayed strong after her marriages ended and found love again in her 60s. And now, to mark International Women's Day, the actress is bearing her soul and sharing the lessons she has learnt in love and life with her fans.
Taking a break from filming in Dublin, Jane says she's really proud of the series. Of course the actress is no stranger to playing strong female leads. Her title role in Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman has changed women's lives around the world. She says:"I keep meeting women who became doctors because of it and she was just such an inspiring and strong woman at the time. There were no women leads really. It was one of the first ones."Her love for work and life is infectious.
Finding love again in her 60s came as a surprise to Jane."I was definitely not looking," she says. In a twist of fate, Jane and David Green had nearly worked together long ago before their paths crossed again - sending sparks flying. “It's one of the things my mother taught me. She said, 'You can't fix other people or change other people, you have to change yourself and be comfortable in your own skin. When you do that, then you have a chance at having a real relationship.'"It is easy to see why her mother is her biggest female role model. Mieke's fighting spirit saw her survive both World War II and an abusive marriage, before she met and fell in love with Jane’s dad.
Juggling motherhood with work, her children would join her on set all over the world and often would be cast with minor roles. These days, as a grandmother, she has the joy of travelling with her grandchildren, and seeing how the experiences enrichen their lives. It's also helped her own daughter appreciate all she gained from her own life on the road when she was younger.
"My sisters have literally put their lives on hold to be there for me when I needed it," she says. "When I had that near death experience on the set in Spain, my sister Sally who worked for the airlines, could easily have lost her job because she literally got on a flight, came to Madrid and just laid down in the bed next to me for three days. I was terrified to close my eyes, I thought I'd die if I closed my eyes and leave my body again.
