Hello 60! Jane Seymour on Living in the Moment

Look at that face. Take a moment to linger.

It's worth it. 

Glance at the ski slope cheeks. The long amber mane. The curious eyes.

This is age 60.

Jane Seymour, stunning at every age, could give the Jessica's and Jennifer's a little lesson about how to remain a screen beauty for over four decades.

"No obsessive running. No private trainers. No obsessive anything," says the screen legend.

Her true beauty secret is not what one would expect from a former Bond girl.

"A number of years ago, I nearly died," she says in a quiet voice over tea at the Four Seasons in Los Angeles.

Seymour had "an injection for bronchitis while in Spain. I was given an antibiotic. They missed and it went into the vein. I had anaphylactic shock. Cortisone and adrenaline administered immediately is the only way you survive.

"I left my body and I remember even now that you take nothing with you except how you feel about what you left behind.

"What was I going to leave behind? I would have left behind children, people I loved and my work. Perhaps I would have left behind this idea that I made a difference.

"So when I was given the gift of coming back into my body, I vowed that I would not waste a single moment of my time," she says. "That's the key to a happy life."

"I recommend to people that living in the moment is pretty good beauty secret," she says.

HER BEST BEAUTY SECRET: STAY BUSY

Jane never languishes for long. She has a jewelry line, acts, and is an artist. She recently starred in the film "Love, Wedding, Marriage."

"I'm a great believer in putting my inspiration, my energy, my ideas out there.

"I became a painter 15 years ago," she says. "I have a full time art career now. I've been shown in museums. I've gotten commissions. It's very exciting."

Seymour is also a celebrated portrait artist whose participates in art shows across the country.

"I do everything. Water, color, oils, pen and ink, pastels. I became a painter when I turned 40 and it really fulfills me," she says. "The key is to find what truly makes you happy and pursue it.

"Nothing puts a beautiful smile on your face like pursuing your dreams," she says.

A HAPPY HOME LIFE

It doesn't hurt to peace and harmony at home.

Seymour happily lives with director husband, James Keach. She has twin boys, 12-year-old John and Kristopher, with Keach.

She also has two children with her ex-husband David Flynn —  Katherine Flynn, 30, and Sean, 25. They live in a 16-century castle outside of Bath, England called St. Catherine's Court.

Her family lets her fly. To that end, Jane relishes doing film comedies like "The Wedding Crashers" where she played a very randy midlifer.

"I felt the time had come to show people that I'm capable of a whole other genre of acting that they haven't given me the opportunity to do.

"I love comedy," she says. "Few people know that I'm a natural comedian. I did comedy when I was younger and in theater I've done a lot of comedy. I've worked with Danny DeVito and Chevy Chase."

"Even on my series 'Dr. Quinn,' the episodes where I got to be funny were my favorite moments of the entire series," she says.

"The point is in the last few years, I've really wanted to show people that what they think of as Jane Seymour is not really Jane Seymour."

So what if a few fans are shocked.

"I'm not for even one second embarrassed by my decision to do a sexy scene like in 'The Wedding Crashers.'"

"I think it's great to show sexuality at every age," she says.

FUTURE PERFECT

Jane says the near death experience will influence the rest of her life.

"That sort of thing gives you an amazing freedom to realize what really matters in life," she says.

"I even wrote a book about it called 'Remarkable Changes: Turning Life's Challenges Into Opportunities.'

"Now, I do public speaking all over the world," she says. "I think that a lot of young people right now don't have a drive in life, they don't have a purpose. They go, 'Well, I don't know. What's the point?'

"I hear that all the time.

"When you've almost lost your life, you realize what the point is," Jane says. "The point is that life is very precious."
