When you consider that over the past 50 years actress Jane Seymour has starred in about 100 TV movies, television shows, and feature films, it seems kind of odd to hear that she doesn't consider herself a celebrity. Certainly not in the traditional way that people in the United States tend to do, which she says isn't quite the same in England. "I'm just me," she says matter of factly on an episode of the online InnerVIEWS. "Whether I'm acting or I'm talking to you you or doing the dishes and try to get the kids off to school, I'm just me. But you sort of get used to people knowing who you are and know you. And you just don't have the privacy that you used to. You kind of get used to it." After all this time, one would certainly hope so. RELATED: Lindsay Wagner: 50 Years of Her Bionic Life from 1970 to 2020 She was born Joyce Penelope Wilhelmina Frankenberg on February 15, 1951, in Uxbridge, Middlesex, England. Although she was educated at the Tring Park School for the Performing Artists in Hertfordshire, her first love was actually classical ballet. As she describes it, she was born with flat feet and a speech impediment, but she danced everywhere, her mother telling her that she had a tendency to dance in the kitchen where she knocked over pretty much every pot and pan. Finally, her mother sent her to ballet class where she says she learned how not to have flat feet. "I became obsessed with it to the degree that by the time I was 13, I was insisting to my parent that life would be over unless they let me go to the Royal Ballet school or a professional ballet school," Jane explains. "We had no money, but my father had answered an ad in a British medical journal to switch gynecologists' daughters with a Hungarian doctor's to experience a different lifestyle. So I went off to Hungary, an Iron Curtain country." Rescue From Hungary Jane was there for a while and was approached by a woman who offered her a place at the Hungarian ballet school. Once her parents heard that, they went to Hungary to bring her home, her father saying that she could go to a ballet school in England if that was something she was truly passionate about. The school she eventually attended taught not only ballet, but acting, singing and a number of other things. Then she suffered an accident that "made me become an actress by default." RELATED: Cheryl Ladd: 50 Years of Her 'Angelic' Life from 1970 to 2020 Over the years people have told her how well she does in period pieces — indeed, below you'll see just how many she's appeared in — which she credits to her ballet background. "I know how to stand up straight," she told journalist Ernie Manouse, "and use a fan and how to curtsy. I can do all those minuets and dances and waltzes. You know, every time I dance with a male actor from this country , they think they have three feet — and they do; they've somehow managed to tread on two of mine at the same time. It's astounding. If I do a period piece, the women have no idea how to do needlepoint or any of the things women from early days did. It's about movement. Riding horses, even driving antique vehicles. I mean, these are things I learned to do and I've become very handy. i always tell people who are trying to act to do a bit of the gym, certainly study, but do a lot of physical stuff. Sword fighting, dancing movement — I mean, you just can't get enough of it." The way Jane sees it, life is like a giant wave: "It grows, it swells, it crests, the wind takes it to this sort of spectacular moment, and then it crashes magnificently and it doesn't stop. It doesn't crash and stop and look back at itself. It crashes and is immediately going back into being the next wave. I always feel life is like that. You're always in motion. You're always in movement." Playing Solitaire Jane's first role was an uncredited one in the 1969 movie Oh! What a Lovely War, followed a year later by The Only Way, Young Winston (1972) and The Best Pair of Legs in the Business (1973). In 1972, she appeared on episodes of the British shows The Pathfinders, The Strauss Family, and The Onedin Line — being cast in 10 episodes of the latter — which nearly ruled out her first really big movie role, as James Bond girl "Solitaire" in the eighth 007 film Live and Let Die, and the first to star Roger Moore. RELATED: Kate Jackson: 50 Years of Her Glamorous Life from 1970 to 2020 "I was doing television with the BBC, a period drama series called The Onedin Line," Jane explains in an exclusive excerpt from the James Bond oral history book Nobody Does It Better. "I was playing the villainess who was a virginal woman in the 1880s who had inherited her father shipping line." Bond producers Albert R. "Cubby" Broccoli and Harry Saltzman became aware of her and pursued her for the role. "My agent and I had a conversation with the BBC and the guys there were not going to let me out of my contract," says Jane. "My agent kept saying, 'Don't you realize if she does the Bond film, she'll be a star? And if she's a star, you'll forever be famous for being the one that discovered her.' And the producer was not buying that. My agent said, 'Look, talk to your wife tonight and speak to me in the morning. Just think about it.' So apparently what happened is he went home and he told his wife. And his wife said, "Of course you can move scenes around. And then she can do your thing and the other thing, and then your thing will be worth more, because she'll now be starring in a Bond film.' Then I went away for two weeks in New Orleans to shoot scenes from the film. I came back and I finished the series, then I did everything in England for the Bond film." 'Queen of the Mini-Series' Being in the spotlight thanks to Live and Let Die, finding work was no longer a problem. As she related to NPR, "I met Renee Valente, who was a casting director at the time. And she said, 'If you can lose your English accent, you would do very well in America.' I came to America with no work permit, no agent, nowhere really to live, and within six weeks I got my first role in Captains and the Kings. I became labeled as the 'queen of the mini-series,' because I did one mini-series after another. Basically, I worked consistently and usually with a different American accent every time." RELATED: Melissa Gilbert: 50 Years of Life On and Off the 'Prairie' from 1970 to 2020 Before the whole mini-series and TV movie thing kicked in fully, Jane found herself cast in one of the big television events of the 1978 to 1979 season — Battlestar Galactica, about the remnants of humanity traveling through space looking for the lost colony of Earth. She was in a total of five episodes, the three-hour pilot, and two additional shows. "I was only supposed to be in the pilot," says Jane in an exclusive excerpt from the oral history of Battlestar Galactica, So Say We All. "And I died in the pilot. But then they reshot the whole thing without telling me and then wanted me to stay for the whole show, because I tested higher than the other girls that they'd hired to be regulars. I said I'd do another two-hour special. I just didn't see myself doing a series." In 1980, Jane co-starred with Christopher Reeve, who had amazed audiences with his portrayal as the Man of Steel in 1978's Superman: The Movie, in the time travel romance Somewhere in Time (more details of which can be found in the guide to her career below). Only a modest success in its initial release, it's a film that has only grown in popularity over the decades. "It was a wonderful, small movie when it came out that captured the imagination and dedication of millions of viewers globally," Jane told The Lady. "It's such a special, timeless story and the quintessential romance of the idea of finding love and of it being somewhere in time. That it's not necessarily in your time and that it can travel through time and space, but that this kind of love can exist. It was one of my favorite movies that I've ever done and certainly something that people stop and talk to me about pretty much every day of my life wherever in the world." 'Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman' From 1980 to 1993, Jane starred in 27 films, TV movies, mini-series, and TV shows, but by 1993 she was ready to "settle down" with her first series, Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, in which she played Dr. Michaela "Mike" Quinn, a doctor in the Old West. For her, it was a genuine highlight of her career. She told Ability Magazine, "I feel Dr. Quinn is a role model for many reasons. She's a mother of an extended family and she's trying to help people in the town she's in to not be bigots, to not be racist, to help them ecologically — she's very much a modern woman in the 1870s. She's a very educated woman who is open-minded to other people's ideas and other people's beliefs, which include Cloud Dancer, who is a Native American character on the show who has healing methods and spiritual beliefs that are unlike those of the town's people. She's based on a compilation of people. There were, of course, women doctors during this period out in the West. However it isn't based on any particular one. It's more of a 'What if?' What one hopes is that a woman could have had this kind of influence." "I'm very proud of it," she added to smashinginterviews.com, "because even when you watch it today, it hasn't aged at all and stands up. Of course, it was set back in the 1870s anyway, so it doesn't age at all. The subject matter that we were discussing each week is still relevant today. Everything from pollution of the water to different medical practices, being tolerant of other religions and people." Things Still Haven't Slowed Down Incredibly, Jane's life and career have never slowed down since Dr. Quinn. She has been in dozens of different projects, the most recent of which is 2020's Friendsgiving. On top of that, she's written no less than 10 self-help and inspirational books and has teamed up with Kay Jewelers to design the "Open Heart Collection." In her personal life, Jane has been married four times, to Michael Attenborough from 1971 to 1973, Geoffrey Planer from 1977 to 1978, David Flynn from 1981 to 1992, and James Keach from 1993 to 2015. She is the mother of four. For over 50 years, Jane has been celebrated as an actress for all of her varied performances, yet for her, nothing has really changed in terms of her view of self. "Especially with all these reality shows, everyone wants to be a celebrated person, but it's not where I started at all. I never imagined for a minute that my name would ever be anything but somewhere in the program, if I was lucky," she's admitted. "I'm most proud of being an artist in many disciplines. I feel that art is about communicating, whether it's acting, writing, painting, sculpting, music, etc. Art infuses my life and enables me to communicate every aspect of the human condition as I have been exposed to. However, my proudest achievement is in being able to continue to do all of these things while raising an amazing family of very creative, loving and thoughtful children."
