Jane Seymour Reveals Being Sexually Harassed As A Young Actress | Megyn Kelly TODAY
A truly beautiful, extraordinarily talented, intelligent, and classy lady. She is a survivor and I'm so proud of her for both having stood up for herself and for speaking out!
Jane looks like she's aging gracefully and absolutely stunning. Too bad other Hollywood women don't take a page from Jane's book because her beauty surpasses all of them.
YLVA TAYLOR Absolutely. She looks in her fifties. The face and what a body!
She’s stunning indeed. And beautiful inside and out.
YLVA TAYLOR I think most other seventies women are really aging gracefully
I am glad she stood up for herself.
Cooking Lessons for Dad yeah, nearly 30 years after the event, which is not supported by the law, so no, that's cowardness, not bravery.
I meant at the time it happened. She did not give in to the man. Yes I am always suspicious when people bring things like that up many years later.
don´t be so insensitive. it takes ages to process abuse and to finally speak about it. she is very brave.
yes she is. your answer has nothing to do with her experience and it also lacks proof.
Cooking Lessons for Dad I actually didn't have a problem even if they did get distracted or run over to private room .I just shook off as just their nature like a dog liking his balls. Though Wish I could have conversation with them. but now they don't wanna anything to do with me they now call me out for touching them don't even talk or look at me and now they make me feel uncomfortable not sexual look more like an hateful growing dog kinda look they Wish in get hit by a train.
Jane Seymour looks so beautiful. There is something so natural about her look.
Yeah, so fine for aged 66.
A great beauty who has lived well without plastic surgery.... so I buy what she is saying far more than a person wearing a plastic mask created by someone else, albeit a Dr.
Not convinced about natural, she looks very fresh and unwrinkled for 66, but she's definitely not going overboard like those flat-ironed plastic monsters Hollywood usually has- and she looks better than all of them.
hannah blyth wrong!She had plastic surgery early on in her career!Look it up!
How is it that I have NEVER noticed until now that she has one brown eye and one green one? Years of watching her on tv, in movies, interviews etc...never saw it til now lol
I'm really impressed that she took a stand. Somebody like her too, I mean a young Jane Seymour? One could not find a more beautiful girl, which means she's walking around with a target on her back.
All women are harrassed at some point. I am still being harrassed at age 50. Go figure. Sick, sick world.
Hi Rebecca hope you’re okay?
Jane Seymour always a class act 😊
Her abuser was Ray Stark.
The men and women who also knew on set and stayed quiet should be outted. Some women classy about telling their story, some its a “me too.”
So sad, whether it's a famous or average person. It's disgusting people take advantage of others in horrible ways.
She’s an amazing person. I’m so glad she persevered we would have missed out on so many great roles
Finally a woman talks about men being used too in Hollywood! Thank you Jane Seymour!
I think it’s appalling, when they keep silent on naming the predator.
It enables the predators to keep assaulting victims.
Only he's dead so...
If you name the predator and don't want to press charges against them you can be sued for defamation. You might not want to press charges because of shock, because it's your word against theirs or because suing someone is expensive and time consuming. Someone who has been through a traumatic experience might not be in the right headspace to do anything or tell anyone.
Often the perpetrators and their spouses, or even MOTHERS blame the victim. Such as my own mother blamed me. Curses on all of them. "Forgive" but never forget! Speak out and protect others!
Jane Seymour looks as lovely as when she was younger. Her face is as natural. I hope she never gets any plastic surgery nor any botox.
Hi Georgina hope you’re okay?
"Jane Seymour claims she was sexually assaulted by Hollywood legend Ray Stark "...Headline in the Daily Mail 2017.
Funny , because I just Googled who were the producers of Somewhere in Time and there were three of them ... and I knew it had to be Ray Stark ... wow what a creep .
I think he died of AIDS but I'll have to look that up
Keep it up ladies.. Its going to take a while but they can deny till dooms day we ALL know its true... I'm proud of all the woman that have come forward.. I really am..
You should learn how the law works, kid. After 30 years, it's not a crime, a bad action shouldn't resolve in total destruction of someone, pathetic moron.
they destruct themself the moment they do this stuff. it`s their fault - they can always choose to not harass people. it`s not that hard actually if you`re a decent human being.
Larry 306 yup
Everyone share your experiences in sexual predation you've been a part of in school, at work, in clubs, everywhere. I've got a half dozen myself!
Thank you! That’s such a profound response.
And people still wonder why victims kept quiet, their careers and their sustain could be destroyed by the powerful abusers. And society doesn't support the victims like Corey Feldman that spoke about it for years and was judged for it.
I've wanted to meet Jane all of my life. I wrote her every day during Dr Quinn. I was 11 in 92 and I truly believe between her and Chuck Norris, (Walker,) that the values and morals from these shows combined with my parents and grandparents are why I am the person I am today.
Don't stop ladies. Keep sharing your stories. WE BELIEVE YOU.
Very Nice interview and story, Jane!
Thank You!
👍
Jane Seymour, thank you for sharing your story. I'm on your side.
I have loved miss Seymour since I wasa kid watching TV with my grandma, and I have a new found respect for her own a personal level, what a strong woman and family...
Love her beauty and sincerity.
"Somewhere in Time" was the first film which made a strong impression on my childhood self.
Pedro Bonucci Oh wow! me too...I thought all these years I was the only one. Dont know why I thought that though.
Ray Stark was this man. The film that she did after years was "Somewhere in Time ". Bingo.
Off to google to see who it was
dianne Dido I think it's Ray stark
It was Ray Stark
Mr. V that if from the Wedding Crashers!!!!
how shameful his behaviour was!!!
yeah a bit strange to take a part like this after what she just said ! mmmmmmmm
Thanks for this! Helpful and healing!
I
Jaehaerys Aegar Targaryen is that that 90ies show?
Not mentioning his name continues the polite mannerly madness females learn from day one and which perpetuates decades-long bad behavior of males. I'm sure there will be comments saying she's such a lady not to disclose his name. In my opinion, this is national mistake #1. These guys need to know there are no more dark corners and freebie cover-ups.
Jane Seymour is from a close-knit supportive family, mother and sisters. She also is very intuitive, trusts her intuition and she and her family had guidance and healing from Betty Shine, the late UK psychic medium and healer.
There may be some liars out there but this lady isn't one of them.
All employers harass their employees constantly, both sexually and non-sexually. No women seem unable to make the decision to say "NO". Aaaah, but many chose to follow the smell of money. Childish.
Wonderful morals and values.
Say his name he does not deserve respect!
Ray Stark produced Somewhere in time. Soooo. Put 2 and 2 together. Must have been him.
L-O-V-E Jane! Smart, eloquent, funny, and talented!
Wow. Love Meg’s choices!
Loved this woman growing up
She didn't stand up for her morals in the end because she worked on a film for that guy in the end, which is like saying that what you did to me is acceptable! Not a good story.
She dont have self respect since she choose 2 work 4 the guy, but she didn't have integrity she made it ok & since she didn't stand up 4 herself it clicked in his head that she was cool with what he did 2 her so there4 shes not a victim
Now that’s class she is and always will be the most classy woman in Hollywood
Hi Traci hope you’re okay?
Hi MEGYN GREAT SHOW AGAIN ,GOOD JOB..
She doesn't want to mention the producer's name "out of respect," because he's dead?? WTF??
Go Ladies!! All the good guys are with you!!!
Omg her sons story is also horrific
"I didn't go" is Hollywood code for "I didn't get on my knees"
Wow. Jane has the most wonderful light golden brown hair color I've ever seen
*I saw her hair when she was little like dark brown*
Women can be predators, too. It's just not as widely reported or as trendy of a topic as male bashing... This year alone, on two separate occasions, I was inappropriately touched by ugly old broads that invited themselves to paw me just because they thought I was too shy and polite to object. Boy were they wrong.
None of them should have let you go. You do what’s right.
Hi Diana hope you’re okay?
all the women should have done what you did..say no and turn around... intelligent woman
Checking out Seymour's book right now!
Fertile Prayers: Daily Fertile Prayers is a book. It helps people who lose children. It helps people trying to have a baby too.
Hi Charlotte hope you’re okay?
Amazing ! She is a great person !
well its Stark for sure... Stephen Deutsch is still alive at 71yo, & that leaves just this guy does anyone else find it ironic, or meta, that she refused to name him, & he's also "un-credited"in the movie?
Steven Bickel
She's the most beautiful woman that ever existed in my opinion
Can anyone figure who was? I am going to research this?
Hi Debbie hope you’re okay?
watched every single episode of Dr. Quinn. Never noticed she had two different eyecolours...
FWAJR 😂
It was pretty obvious on the show though. Lots of close ups
The woman never aged...
Art takes courage in many forms. An idea too new for an audience or the personal problems. Always you end up defending your choices. I am glad Jane made Somewhere in Time. Strangely as a teenager at that time(1980)that movie taught me respect for relationships, not just being a boy. I guess art can reflect, belie, also shed light. A penny's worth
Thank you Jane
Hi Debbie hope you’re okay?
Well, she is a strong woman and that is the way to do it.
Hi Patricia hope you’re okay?
Good for you Jane Seymour. Always loved you in every movie or Television series
Hi Sandy hope you’re okay?
Cannot understand why this got 106 dislikes Jane Seymour seems a delightful down to earth person, a fine actor as well as obvious beauty, hope it's not politically incorrect to say that about a person in this day and age😳
Jane you're a star,,⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Why do we ignore how long these women didn't speak out? Men aren't all monsters, name him, I guarantee he's horrified of it. Stop it with the half-measures. If we're wrong, tell us. Please
Philosopher Ruwen Ogien defended the freedom to offend as essential to artistic creation. In the same way, we defend a freedom to bother as indispensable to sexual freedom.
Today we are educated enough to understand that sexual impulses are, by nature, offensive and primitive - but we are also able to tell the difference between an awkward attempt to pick someone up and what constitutes a sexual assault.
Thank you Jane.. This was divine timing for me🙏🏻... 💞🎶
What happened to you Lisa. I am going to expose a former boss for what he did. It could give me strength
Hi Lisa hope you’re okay?
You know? I am sick of these established stars now talking about this. It is right that it should all come out, but WHY did they not do anything then to protect future starlets and children??? Shame on them..
Did you watch this video interview? because she was threatened by a POWERFUL man in hollywood. Probably powerful women who protect them too. Threatened to never allow her to work again in the world. At her young age, that would scare any child. Her agent KNEW. her Producer KNEW and didn't tell her, but were glad when she said she didn't go to the test.
Also remember she was 23 years old at the time
perseverence? no. it's affinity, destiny. no one can stop what's yours. sooner or later it will be yours, no one can be a hinder
Not mention his name ? What about the potential other victims???? They may need validation ... his daughters may have been victims
Why not say the names of the abusers? Such perverts don’t deserve any respect, wether they are alive or dead. They need to be exposed!
Still so gorgeous.
Hi Deborah hope you’re okay?
She was a great James Bond girl.
Jane is like fine wine better with age! gorgeous as always!
a great lady, beautiful inward and out.
i always pass by those trees. Love them.
Who was "the most powerful man in Hollywood" back when Jane Seymour was 23 or 24 years old? Ah, the producer of "Somewhere in Time?" Did I hear that correctly? The producers of that film were Ray Stark and Stephen Simon. Who was she talking about?
Is this who she is talking about?
She's awesome.
Nobody ever talks about her anymore,
The prostitution trade in the United States is estimated to generate $14 billion a year. A 2012 report by Fondation Scelles indicated that there were an estimated 1 million prostitutes in the U.S.
I like how she has 2 different eye color... Brown and Green..
Truly amazing!!!
That's how they get away with it. They threaten people and they're allowed to. Even the agent knew he was shady and probably shouldn't have sent her or warned her. So they kept doing it. May he rot
There are two possibilities. I know everyone else has googled it. One of the possibilities has a female sounding name but is a male. I suspect it may have been the person who did not get a credit for the film but I don't know.
AMAZING WOMAN.....ALL MY RESPECT......GOD BLESS HER! :)
The movie her son working on was s stolen script. Lots of bad people in the biz. The script promoter aquired it illegally. Sold it cheaply. Early 1994. "Numb".
I kinda, sorta understand why people do this and it’s even more than a power dynamic. It would be EXTREMELY difficult for me to be around gorgeous, charismatic women on a daily basis and not hit on them. No excuse whatsoever for harassment or worse. I’m glad I never had to find out.
Sad to think about all the others... Streisand.. Goldy??
Soo..classy and lady-like, still looks attractive..and honest,..wonderful role model for women on how to stick up for themselves.
So this very" powerful Hollywood" is dead by now. Even some 45 years later she still can't mention his name.
She’s the only star I ever wanted to emulate in beauty in all ways
She wasn't going to mention the POS name who sexually harassed her "out of respect?" Sheer idiocy. The man allegedly had a reputation for this behavior and Seymour wants to show him respect. The vermin deserves to be exposed and his reputation destroyed.
That dress looks great on her
Just once I’d like to hear someone come out ASAP, as long as their is a professional or monetary gain, forget it.
Yep, She is most likely talking about Ray Stark.
So lovely, bright and beautiful. Luv Jane and her movies
She's 56 years old! She could be a great grandmother and perhaps is.
66. She has grandchildren, but no great grandchildren.
Men in danger too, awful.
Jane Eyre
It happened to Terry Crews! 😦
Too many people are hanging onto the past when they should just let go of it, and yes men are in just as much danger as any woman. Too many just don't want to admit that though.
Where did she take a stand, she was harassed and then did what he told her to do. Shut up and not say it happened. Then goes back to her husband in England, spends a whole year not working and then comes back on the scene. Maybe there were younger women who didn't have a husband to go back to. She could have said something at the time to help women coming after her and helped them be saved from this harassment. She chose not to, i dont think that is anything to be proud of. A little more self serving. She had something to fall back on maybe other women didn't. Then she brags about getting the movie that defined her by the very person who harassed her. Why did she even want to work with this jerk. Sorry but her story isn't something to be proud about.
"but her story isn't something to be proud about" -- what victim of sexual assault is PROUD of it? And you just make it harder for people to be open when you shame the victim. I mean that is so tiresome.
Elizabeth, people in Hollywood knew what was going on, but it was kept quiet. If she would have said something, nothing would have happened. He had too much power. She did take a stand by not doing what he wanted and that took a lot of courage. She is not the bad person in this. She did what she could. She should be proud that after being treated that way, she was able to pick herself back up again.
If she legit felt uncomfortable with being sexually assaulted she could've easily have reported it from day 1 besides aint nobody had a gun 2 her head 2 make her stay quiet about it she chose 2 stay quiet on her own so there4 shes not a victim & there should b nothing 4 her 2 say now since she choose 2 stay quiet about it & now she should live with her decision on staying quiet & take responsibility 4 her own actions thats all
Kelly, giving a voice to women who accuse years later. I call BS.
This horrid thing in Hollywood will never stop.
if you are attracted its " courting" if you are not attracted its " harrasment"
All I wanna know is ... what was it like 2 be kissed & held by Joe Lando ???? 😍😍😍😙😙😙😙
For Your Name Is Holy Awwwwwwwe!!!!!! Me too!!!!
Funny how no names are dropped
I went surfing with Life Rolls On a few years ago. It was a wonderful experience.
Hi Amanda hope you’re okay?
