Jane Seymour, 74, wows in red-hot swimsuit on Italian holiday
Jane Seymour just keeps getting better with age and you can't convince us otherwise.
The 74-year-old actress was seen enjoying the sunshine in Sardinia, Italy, looking effortlessly elegant and eternally youthful in a red one-piece swimsuit on Sunday.
The former Bond girl looked stunning on the romantic getaway with her long-term partner John Zambetti, who was seen proudly taking photos of her as she dipped her toes into the Mediterranean. She's the latest of a slew of celebrities who've been spotted enjoying the sea, sand and sun of the European summer in recent weeks.
'Soaking up the sunshine and the solstice magic,' she gushed on Instagram over the weekend, while sharing a photo of herself in another red swimsuit.
'The longest day of the year calls for a little extra sparkle, a splash of sea, and a heart wide open to summer's beauty.'
Th e Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman star is also in town for the Filming Italy Sardegna Festival. where she was honoured with a career achievement award last week.
'I just realised I've been doing this for 61 years,' she said onstage during her acceptance speech at the ceremony attended by the likes of Fran Drescher, Alec Baldwin, Heather Graham, Cuba Gooding Jr and Ashley Greene.
'I grew up with flat feet and a speech impediment, with my parents being told I had to have remedial classes for both,' Seymour added. 'Don't let anyone tell you you can't do it.'
Also spotted at the festival: Scandal-plagued actor Ezra Miller, making a red carpet return after several years spent out of the spotlight, and looking very different to how fans would remember them.
Elsewhere at the festival, during masterclasses organised for the event, Seymour described the course of her career and how proud she is to have 'always broken the glass ceiling'.
'I started out, of course, playing ingenues and romantic heroines,' she said. 'Then when they realised I could cry, I played victims. And then, when they realised I could be evil, I got to play the killers. That was fun.'
'And then, you know, mamas, grandmothers. Then comedy, which is pretty much where I am now.'
Now, Seymour is enjoying the success on the Irish mystery series Harry Wild, which was recently renewed for a fifth season on British streaming service Acorn TV.
The actress is incredibly proud to be one of very few actresses her age to head a series. In Harry Wild, she plays the lead role as a retired English literature professor who becomes a super-sleuth.
'Nobody gets a series of their own at 70. Nobody,' she pointed out at one masterclass. '[Harry Wild is] very comedic, it's very intelligent – and I'm also a producer.'
In a past interview with Hello!, Seymour also said there's no reason to stop living when you reach your seventies.
'The world is against ageing. We hate ageing. We look at ageing and we go, 'Oh, no, there's a wrinkle, oh my God. Get rid of it. Grey hair. No. Terrifying!'' she told the magazine.
'Whereas you can look at it the other way and you can say actually, I now have time in my life to do things I really want to do. Maybe I can now become the person I want to be.'
