Jane Seymour, 74, Declares She’s ‘In Her Prime’
Jane Seymour, the renowned actress, recently emphasized the idea that age is merely a number. During a conversation at AARP’s annual Movies for Grownups Awards in Beverly Hills, the 74-year-old star shared her insights on aging and maintaining confidence. Seymour stated, “I do my own hair and makeup. I eat sensibly and am grateful to be alive.” She expressed feeling “in my prime right now,” just shy of her 75th birthday.
Celebrating Accomplishments and Gratitude
Seymour reflected on her busy career and the joy it brings her. “I have amazing work and work with great people,” she noted. Despite her packed schedule, she feels energized and thankful. “I never imagined I’d be doing what I’m doing right now at this age,” she added.
An Iconic Career Spanning Over Five Decades
- Breakthrough Role: Seymour gained fame as a Bond girl in the 1973 film “Live and Let Die.”
- Golden Globes: She won her first award for the 1981 miniseries “East of Eden” and her second for “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.”
- Major Projects: Key works include “Somewhere in Time” and the cult classic “War and Remembrance.”
Seymour’s influence extends beyond acting; she founded the Open Hearts Foundation in 2010. The nonprofit aims to support charities that encourage positive change through compassion and service.
Current Projects and Future Plans
At present, Seymour is filming the fifth season of her Acorn TV mystery series, “Harry Wild,” where she also serves as an executive producer. The new season is set to debut later this year. Additionally, she is co-producing a film adaptation of Chrissy Cashman’s novel “The Truth About Horses.”
Upcoming Birthday Celebrations
Seymour will celebrate her 75th birthday on February 15. She plans a major gala for the Open Hearts Foundation, though she joked about possibly choosing another date for her actual birthday celebration to ensure sunny weather.
Reflecting on her career, Seymour mentioned that naming a favorite project is challenging, likening it to picking a favorite child. However, her roles in “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman,” “Somewhere in Time,” and “Wedding Crashers” are especially memorable to her.
Impact of Movies for Grownups Awards
At the AARP Movies for Grownups Awards, Seymour noted the significance of recognizing seasoned actors. “We’re the ones that are buying things and watching everything,” she explained, underscoring the importance of representing older audiences in film.
