While they were shooting “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman,” Jane Seymour, 72, and co-star Joe Lando, 61, didn’t talk to each other for years, which she said was hard.
There were hard times in Jane Seymour’s life before she met and fell in love with Joe Lando and worked on “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.” She owed her ex-boyfriend $9 million and was homeless for a while.
Fans of “Dr. Quinn” will always remember the face of Jane Seymour, who is British-American. Seymour talked about her time on his show in an interview done years after the 1993 movie.
But first, the actress talked about some bad things that happened that led to her being on “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.” Then she talked in more detail about her time on the show and how it affected her work.
Before and during the whole of “Dr. Quinn,” Seymour
Besides acting, Seymour runs a business and writes. She started out on TV in 1969 in an uncredited role on “Oh! What a Lovely War.” before becoming famous with major roles in movies and TV shows like “The Onedin Line” and “Live and Let Die.”
In the 1990s, Seymour won a second Golden Globe for her part as Dr. Michaela “Mike” Quinn on the TV show “Dr. Quinn.” The actor did talk about her personal life before the show, though, in an interview done years after the show ended.
In that case, Seymour said that her ex-husband had wasted their money and left her with a $9 million bill. There was no money or a place to live, so she called her agency and said she was ready to do any job.
This led to her being cast as “Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman.” She agreed to work for five years in case the movie became a TV show, but she was also given a “little movie of the week.” She began working in less than a day, and Seymour noticed:
“They stopped me from dying.” The trailer let my kids do their schoolwork while we worked, and I had a place to live and money to help me get back on my feet.
Even though the 1993 series was good for her, Seymour had some bad experiences while shooting. She thanked actor Joe Lando for his work on the movie before telling people not to fall in love with the lead actor in a pilot and then break up before the end of the movie.
The fights between Seymour, 72, and Lando are a long time ago, but their relationship while shooting “Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman” was very bad. Before they broke up, they went on a few dates.
Things got worse when the star got married to regular series director James Keach. It occurred to Seymour that Keach had to keep an eye on her relationship with Lando while they were working together.
During the interview, the actress also said that she watched the show again with her grandchildren and saw that it still dealt with problems that are important today.
Seymour, who is 72 years old, said in an interview at Creative Arts Emmys Night 2 that it was a hard time because she and co-star Lando didn’t talk for years while they were shooting “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.”
The article said that she and Lando were having some problems and were going through the awkward phase of breaking up off-screen, even though they looked like the perfect pair on TV. She also thought back to the start of her relationship with Lando.
The star from “Live and Let Die” talked about a time when a flash flood happened and pushed her car backwards. She couldn’t get out of the car because the intern driver hadn’t let her. However, Seymour jumped out and ended up in Lando’s truck, which is how they met and became friends.
Lando is now Seymour’s “closest friend on the planet,” even though she has been married four times. The end of her marriage to film maker Keach came in 2015. Lando, on the other hand, and Kirsten Barlow have been married since 1997.
It made me think of good times when the couple from “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman” stood for a picture on social media that showed them as adults. The co-stars were still cute even though they looked older.
The actress from “Somewhere in Time” posted a picture of herself and Lando. Lando was wearing a maroon T-shirt and a blue jacket, and Seymour was wearing a flower dress. People who liked “Dr. Quinn” were crazy about the picture and what it said:
“Being sully in the summer!”
Seymour hasn’t always had good interactions, even though he’s a famous movie star. In a recent interview, the businesswoman, mother, and grandma said that her failed marriages and relationships have taught her a lot.
According to Seymour, the best thing to do after a breakup is to “let go” and find a way to talk to each other, especially if you are co-parenting. According to the actor, the only bad thing about her relationships was being with people who wanted someone who didn’t work and was always available.
Being available 24 hours a day, seven days a week was hard for someone who had a job and supported their family. She said with a laugh that Seymour only did something wrong by going to work.
The actor and her ex-husband Keach had twins named Kristopher and John before their marriage ended. As a child, she had a son named Sean and a daughter named Katherine with David Flynn.
Seymour admitted that she tried to spend time with her kids even though she had a tough job. They went with her on business trips, and she was able to keep her balance.
Still, the 72-year-old actress said she had relationships with guys who had “different issues.” With a smile, Seymour told them that she had never divorced them; they had just left to find other people to date.
