Jane seymour biography actor dean

Jane Seymour was born as Joyce Penelope Wilhelmina Frankenberg in 1951 in Middlesex, England, to a sjuksköterska mother and gynaecologist/obstetrician father.

Jane Seymour's 6 Children: Everything to Know

Fans know her as Dr. Quinn, medicine woman, a Wild West frontier doctor who cared for her adopted family and an entire town — but off-screen, Jane Seymour was taking care of her own six children: Jenni, Katherine, Sean, Kalen, John and Kristopher.

“The kids know I would choose family over any role and over anything in my life,” Seymour told The Guardianin 2013. “I don't know if I'm a great mum. I'm the best mum I know how to be. I think it's all about listening to your children, communicating and caring enough to be involved in their life.”
