Jane Seymour celebrates her 66th today. She began her acting career in her late teens with an uncredited appearance in Oh! What a Lovely War. She then starred in the World War 2 drama The Only Way, and appeared in a supporting role in Young Winston. However, the role that first made her well-known was playing a Bond Girl, in Roger Moore’s first outing as 007, Live and Let Die.

Seymour has likely had the most successful post-Bond career of any Bond Girl. She made a few interesting films, such as the sci-fi romance Somewhere in Time, but her greatest success has been on television. She has received five Primetime Emmy nominations, winning for playing Maria Callas in the miniseries Onassis: The Richest Man in the World. She has won Golden Globes for a miniseries adaptation of John Steinbeck’s East of Eden, and as the title character of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. Her other notable television roles include starring in miniseries adapted from Taylor Caldwell’s Captains and the King and Herman Wouk’s War and Remembrance.
