Actress Jane Seymour waved a small US flag and cheered as she and 9,000 other immigrants became US citizens during a naturalization ceremony in Los Angeles today.
The British born actress, best known for her TV series role as 'Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman' said she has been in the United States since 1976.
'Ive realized that I've been living here longer than in my home country. American has given me unbeliveable opportunities,' she said. I realized with the US elections I wanted to vote and I couldn't. I felt the time had come to particiapte more fully.'
Seymour, 53 wore a cream colored suit to the ceremony at the LA Convention Center. She sat among more than a dozen US military personnel who also recieved citizenship.
The actress has been married four times and has five children. On of her ex-husbands is Lord Attenborough's son Michael.
One of my favorite movies.
She has one brown eye and one green one ~ that'll do it every time. ;)

I think Bogart was debunked too though his image was used for something.......I thought they found it was some school teacher in obscurity.......oh well
Jane Seymour also played Solitare (the tarot card reading girl) in the James Bond movie "Live and Let Die"
Oh I love that movie, and her voice is just beautiful I think. Maybe I will go put some Pagannini (sp) on.
One can only say, Good for her, welcome American.
I've seen her at the emmy's in the past gracious, and very pretty.
yup.....that is the name I last heard......like she was some school teacher or something.......can't remember
At the moment she knows more about the organization of the Fedgov than the average born American does.
Jane Seymour was Henry VIII's third wife. She was Queen of England for a very short time, from 1536 until 1537.
Jane Seymour was a young noblewoman who served as a lady-in-waiting at Court. She was a modest, quiet, pale young woman in her mid-twenties when she caught King Henry's eye. She was a devout Catholic who was staunchly devoted to Queen Catherine and the Princess Mary.
Henry and his second wife, Anne Boleyn, were not getting along when he became interested in Jane. Jane was a total contrast to the striking, glamorous, turbulent Anne. Jane's talents lay in domestic areas such as sewing, gardening and housekeeping, rather than in art, music, scholarship and athletics.
Henry found Jane's company to be a comfort. As with Anne before her, Henry gave her gifts, and asked Jane to be his mistress. Jane turned him down. Jane hoped to one day marry a young man from another noble family, and wanted to preserve her virtue.
Henry was still hoping that his marriage to Anne Boleyn would produce a son. When Anne suffered one last miscarriage, and the child was determined to be a boy, Henry decided to replace Anne with Jane as his wife. To clear the way for a new marriage, Henry's councilors arranged to have Anne charged with, and found guilty of, treasonous adultery with several men. Anne was executed in May of 1536. Henry married Jane shortly afterward.
Henry found happiness in his marriage to Jane. To Henry's immense joy, Jane became pregnant soon after the wedding. She gave birth to a long-awaited son, Edward, in October of 1537. Sadly, Jane did not survive Edward's birth. She died of childbed fever soon after he was born. Henry was devastated by her death, and mourned her until the end of his life. This did not, however, stop him from marrying again (three more times).
Jane is remembered for being kind, gentle, pious and a good stepmother to Henry's eldest daughter Mary. She most likely would have made a very good queen if she had lived longer.
Looks like we got a good one today.
She's pretty conservative from what I understand. If she was liberal she would be moving to Europe
Roger that!
I have always thought she was pretty but I am sure I saw somewhere that she was a typical Hollywood type.
Thought that was Suzanne Sommers
She not only has a bunch of kids, I think the last time she gave birth to twins in her mid 40's, she's also quite a good painter.
Well, I don't know on what side of the fence she is on ideologically but the process to become a citizen should warrant respect to anyone that passes through. Congratulations to her and welcome "officially" to America.
