Jane Seymour was born as Joyce Penelope Wilhelmina Frankenberg in 1951 in Middlesex, England, to a nurse mother and gynaecologist/obstetrician father. She is of Polish Jewish (father) and Dutch (mother) descent. She adopted the acting name of "Jane Seymour" when she entered show business as it was easier for people to remember (and the name of one of King Henry VIII's wives). She attracted the attention of the James Bond film producers when they saw her on British television. She was cast as the main Bond girl, "Solitaire", in Live and Let Die (1973). The role gained her international recognition but she was in danger of losing it all like the previous Bond girls, so she came to the U.S.
A casting director advised her to lose her English accent and acquire an American accent to land roles on American television. She did and started getting roles, earning five Emmy nominations, resulting in one win for Onassis: The Richest Man in the World (1988) for playing Maria Callas. She won Golden Globe awards for both East of Eden (1981) and the American television series Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (1993), where she played the title role for 5 years. She occasionally appeared in feature films, memorably in Somewhere in Time (1980) and in Wedding Crashers (2005).
Married and divorced four times, she gave birth to four children and is a stepmother to two. They have children of their own, making her a grandmother. As of 2018, she has been acting in television movies and making guest-appearances.- Rebecca Staab was born in Hays, Kansas and grew up in Omaha, Nebraska. Excelling in academics, Rebecca had a 4.0 GPA in both high school and college, and placed in the top five finalists in the Miss USA pageant as Miss Nebraska.

She just completed the season 3 finale of Superman and Lois, working primarily with Michael Cudlidz and Dylan Walsh.

On "The Chronicle Mysteries" series, Rebecca plays the newspaper's Society Editor/Know-It-All as series regular "Eileen Bruce."
Rebecca also stars as a series regular lead in the project "Manopause."
Not every girl gets the chance to be a Marvel Comic superhero, but Rebecca starred in the first cult-hit film version of "The Fantastic Four" as the original "Susan Storm -- The Invisible Girl."
She is enthusiastically remembered by many fans of the film "Love Potion No. 9," for her famous "verbally castrating" bar room scenes with Tate Donovan, and is also recognized frequently for the "top funniest commercials of the year" TAG body spray, as the Mrs. Robinson-MILF who seduces her daughter's boyfriend.
Rebecca played the title role in the Indy film "A House on a Hill", starring with Philip Baker Hall, and worked on the critically acclaimed film "A Perfect Ending" with John Heard.
Some of Rebecca's other series regular roles include the sex-crazed anchorwoman Sherry Beck on the newsroom drama "Live Shot"; innocent vampire Daphne Collins on the revised "Dark Shadows" with Ben Cross; the first lesbian television character Ellen Sommers on NBC's "Trade Winds"; and the billionaire widow/vampire/fashion designer Elizabeth Barrington on "Port Charles."
Rebecca has most recently been seen on several top-rated Hallmark Channel films, as well as the award-winning shows Masters of Sex, Dexter, Glee, Fairly Legal, Criminal Minds, The Mentalist, CSI, CSI: NY, NCIS, and Nip/Tuck. Rebecca is also recognized from network classics Cheers, Seinfeld, Ellen, The Wonder Years, Columbo, Beverly Hills, 90210, and The Drew Carey Show, to name only a few.
After college, Rebecca spent three years as a professional model based in Paris, and worked nonstop on location all over the world including Italy, Germany, and Japan, accumulating covers, features in fashion magazines, billboards, and international campaigns. She moved on to New York and continued working with the Ford Modeling agency.
Booking her very first acting audition, Rebecca started her acting career as punk-rocker Cecelia Thompson on ABC's "Loving," followed by the series regular 'good girl,' Jessie Matthews, on "Guiding Light."
An avid traveler, Rebecca has been from Russia to Costa Rica, Italy to Bali, Japan to Austria, France to Singapore, Estonia to Kauai, Crete to Zihuatanejo, Istanbul to Hong Kong, Helsinki to the Canary Islands, Tunisia to St. Barts, Tahiti to Tulum, and most places in between! She excels at every outdoor adventure sport - her garage looks like a miniature "Sports Chalet."
Another passion of Rebecca's is architectural restoration -- hands-on, she recently completed a top-to-bottom inside-out year-long project of restoring a 100-year-old home from a "haunted crack house" to the historic jewel it deserves to be appreciated as. Having reconstructed every house she's ever lived in, Rebecca is always looking for the next restoration project. Rebecca also applies her construction and handiwork skills to projects for Habitat for Humanity.
She and her longtime partner, William deVry, are very active in dog rescue. They foster four-legged friends who are slated for euthanasia, rehabilitate them, and find them qualified forever homes. They presently have five dogs of their own, but there's frequently an extra one or two in transition. They live in a registered historic home in the Hollywood Hills where Rebecca excels in landscape architecture, interior design, and gourmet cooking.
Rebecca studied in New York City with Uta Hagen at the HB Studios, and in Los Angeles with Larry Moss. - Marj Dusay was born on 20 February 1936 in Hays, Kansas, USA.

- Margaret "Percy" Harris was born in 1905 in Hayes, Kent, England as Margaret Frances Harris. A costume and scenic designer for theatre and film, she was part of the design team known as Motley. Percy and her sister, Sophie Harris, together with their friend Elizabeth Montgomery, made drawings of the actors at the Old Vic theatre in London. They sent the artworks to the theatre, hoping that the theatre would pay for them. Instead, actor and director John Gielgud invited them to design the costumes for his 1932 production of "Romeo and Juliet." This began a long career for the trio and a long association with Gielgud. Working under the collective name Motley, they designed multiple shows for the West End and Broadway. Percy Harris died on May 10, 2000, in Northwood, Hillingdon, London, England.
