In this in-depth look at Jane Seymour's professional and personal life, Seymour's mother speaks candidly about Joyce Penelope Wilhelmina Frankenberg (Seymour's given name) and her incredible drive, which included her desire to become a ballerina. Seymour reminisces about dancing with the Kirov Ballet and her devastation when a knee injury ended her ballet career. The resilient Seymour soon received public recognition as an actress in Oh! What a Lovely War and Live and Let Die, and her Emmy-nominated performance in the miniseries Captains and the Kings earned her the nickname "Queen of the Miniseries." Seymour's accolades include an Emmy for The Woman He Loved and Golden Globes for East of Eden and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.

Stars such as Tom Selleck and family friends offer glowing tributes and insights into the real Jane Seymour. Especially moving are the warm remembrances from Christopher Reeve, who was both a colleague and a personal friend. Also fascinating is the insightful look at Seymour's mother's internment during World War II and its profound influence on the actress's portrayal of Natalie in War and Remembrance. Equally absorbing is Seymour's candid discussion of her personal life, which briefly touches on her three previous marriages and focuses on her current marriage to James Keach. Keach vividly describes Seymour's dangerous bout with preeclampsia and their euphoria at the birth of their twin sons. Fans will enjoy learning about Seymour's life through the well-chosen film clips and interview segments, but they'll absolutely love the personal footage of her marriage to Keach, the birthing of the twins, and the many family photos. --Tami Horiuchi

I do believe I saw this on the Lifetime channel and was a great review of Jane Seymour and the movies she came upon. A great review of what was happening with her private life and a brilliant look at how she became cast into the television series that chipped her name in stone for some of the greatest of actresses true to her name--War and Remembrance. --Jackson Lee.
