At 75 years old, Jane Seymour can proudly show off her enviable physique on social media with a big smile. The unforgettable star of Dr. Quinn (1993-1998), mother of six children - four biological and two stepchildren - stays in shape every day with the help of a personal trainer. Pilates stands out among her exercises.
Her elasticity and energy are the envy of some of her colleagues in the industry. Two months before her birthday, she confessed to People that "when I wake up in the morning, I have to remind myself how old I am because inside I would still feel like I'm in my 40s or 50s, maybe 40. I don't know where all that time went, but I have the same energy as when I was 40."
The actress lives like a princess in her fabulous Malibu mansion, with enviable views of the Pacific. She bought it three decades ago for around $3.4 million and has rented it out to wealthy individuals for $100,000 per month at certain times.
For the past three years, she has shared her life with John Zambetti, an emergency room doctor passionate about music who recently released his first album. "I honestly never thought I would find a truly committed, healthy, lovely, and loving relationship at this stage of my life, but I feel incredibly fortunate to have done so," she confessed to Hello! several weeks before her birthday.
The former Bond girl - Live and Let Die (1973) with Roger Moore - has been married four times. With the first two, theater director Michael Attenborough and writer Geoffrey Planer, she did not have children. Her third husband was David Flynn, with whom she had her children Katherine (44) and Sean (40) and who led her to bankruptcy after convincing her to invest in real estate. They divorced in 1992 after 11 years of marriage.
Her last spouse was actor and producer James Keach - brother of actor Stacey Keach, star of the popular series Mike Hammer - with whom she had twins John (30) and Kristopher (30). The divorce came in 2015.
The British actress, now a naturalized American, also loves to boast about being a grandmother of four grandchildren. In one of her interviews, she stated that "playing with grandchildren keeps me young, they have endless energy, and it's so much fun."
Like many other actresses, Jane keeps hundreds of personal garments and more iconic pieces from her most representative roles. Beyond pure emotional memory, she has become more practical in recent years, and some of these designs are now worn by her grandchildren.
"I have an incredible selection of clothing from all the movies I've acted in. I have all the amazing 1940s wardrobe that the late Nolan Miller made for me in East of Eden, also pieces from Karl Lagerfeld and David Emanuel who designed all sorts of fantastic outfits for me when I starred in War and Remembrance and so on. So, I have quite a history in my closet," she confessed to People.
She added: "At 7 years old, my eldest granddaughter discovered my closet, the dresses, and the shoes. She loves dressing up. Feeling beautiful."
Regarding her iconic role in Dr. Quinn, the actress recalled to The Guardian that filming reminded her of experiences with her father because "he was a great doctor. On weekends, we were nurse's aides - she and her sisters - unpaid at his hospital. I grew up surrounded by surgeries, disinfection rooms, blood, and guts."
Far from thinking about retirement, Jane Seymour continues to travel the world in search of roles that continue to excite her. She currently stars in the detective drama comedy Harry Wild.
