Best known for her roles in "War and Remembrance" and "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman;' the 55-year-old, Britishborn Seymour has expanded her portfolio to include comedic film roles, movie production, painting, book writing, home design, public speaking, and philanthropy.
Seymour visited Boston last week on behalf of Eons, a new media company targeting over-50 baby boomers. This week marks the re-launch of her Jane Seymour Home Collection, a line of home furnishings, textiles, and accessories originally developed for Saks. The revamped line consists of four themed styles: Coral Canyon, based on Seymour's Malibu, Calif., home; St. Catherine's Court and Winding Way, reflecting the decor of her 14th-century manor house in England; and Mackinac Island, which borrows its look from the Michigan resort where her 1980 film "Somewhere In Time" was shot. Debuting at the New York Textile Market , the collection features four bed ensembles with coordinated decorative accessories: pillows, comforters, window treatments, sheets, lamps, candlesticks, and more. The line is scheduled to reach stores by November. -
Meanwhile, wearable-art handbags adapted from Seymour's watercolors and oil paintings are already for sale, along with a new line of personalized skin-care products marketed in England. Coming soon: a book (her seventh) about home decorating and lifestyle tips; a TV series titled "Modern Men"; and "Blind Dating," a film starring Seymour and co-produced by her husband, actor-director James Keach. We caught up with her at Eons' offices in Charlestown.
