Biography

A multiple Emmy and Golden Globe winner, recipient of the Officer of the British Empire (OBE) bestowed upon her by Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace, Jane Seymour has proven her talents in virtually all media, the Broadway stage, motion pictures and television. Daughter of a British obstetrician and his Dutch wife, Seymour was born in Hillingdon, England and raised in Wimbledon. As iconic star of the beloved TV series Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman, she became a role model to young women and girls throughout the world with her inspiring rendition of a woman who courageously dared, with that touch of caring humanity.

Seymour has reached success with a star career encompassing international movie stardom with such lasting films as Somewhere in Time and Live and Let Die, Broadway and London stage acclaim including creating the role of Constanza in "Amadeus" and television achievements in award winning performances in “War and Remembrance” and “East of Eden.” Awarded a Golden Globe for her role as Dr. Quinn, Seymour made history with her six season Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman series, blazing a trail for family-worthy programming to return to series TV. The beloved series still airs around the world in over 90 different countries. Behind the camera, Seymour served as an executive producer on the documentary film Glen Campbell…I’ll Be Me, which told the touching story of musician Glen Campbell’s farewell tour while dealing with the effects of Alzheimer’s disease.

Seymour has been a leading contributor to a vibrant new time of equality which is tearing down walls of limitation everywhere. With her customary practice of leading by achieving, she has earned spectacular success in the worlds of art, design and corporate entrepreneurship. With her Open Hearts line of jewelry and her successful enterprises in related design fields, she has taken her Jane Seymour brand to the position of being in the top one hundred of Licensing Global Magazine’s list of the world’s top brands, something no other actor or actress has accomplished. In the process, her love of art and color has led to her great success as a painter in watercolors and oils and as a designer of product from botanicals to furniture.

In early 2008, Seymour launched one of her most successful brands to date, a special jewelry collection called "Open Hearts by Jane Seymour". Inspired by one of Seymour’s original paintings of two hearts connected and open at either end, the exclusive designs symbolize that love has no boundaries and flows unconditionally. The Open Hearts design reminds us that if we keep our hearts open, love will always find its way in. It has become a universal symbol for giving and receiving love and to date has become the most successful line of jewelry currently on the market.

In addition to acting and her business success, Seymour has written over a dozen books including a series of four books called Open Hearts, which reflects life’s joys, heartaches, and inspirations, and symbolizes that only when you can love yourself and keep your heart open are you able to give and receive love. She is also the author of The Wave, as well as The Road Ahead, which explores how we handle life’s challenges and how those challenges define us as we face the road ahead. The book touches on everything from a medical crisis to broken hearts to career failures and everything in between. She went on to pen her autobiography, Remarkable Changes, profiling her own and 20 personal stories of others who have experienced positive transformation in the face of life-changing crisis, and co-authored a series of exceedingly successful children’s books titled This One and That One.

Seymour has been involved in many philanthropic causes including Childhelp, American Red Cross, City Hearts and Camp Soaring Eagle. In addition, she launched the Open Hearts Foundation which provides funds to charitable organizations and honors individuals that exemplify the Open Heart Philosophy in their service to others.
