Jane Seymour says 'there's no slowing down' as she turns 74: 'I feel I'm doing my best work now. Why retire?'
Jane Seymour turns 74 on Saturday, and the Somewhere in Time star is having the time of her life. 'I feel I'm doing my best work now,' Seymour told Yahoo Entertainment at AARP's Movies for Grownups Awards on Feb. 8. 'Why retire? I'm producing, I'm writing, painting and designing as I always do.' 'There's no slowing down,' says Seymour, who is currently producing and starring in BBC America's Harry Wild. 'If anything, I'm not quite sure how I'm gonna get everything done! It's all happening at once.' See for yourself — The Yodel is the go-to source for daily news, entertainment and feel-good stories. By signing up, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Policy. The Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman star said she's currently 'being offered lots of movies.' 'Whoever thought I'd have that in my 70s?' she said. Seymour said she feels honored 'to tell the stories of my generation.' 'I actually was thinking about it seriously, because I'm a baby boomer. My parents survived World War II,' she said. 'They met after the war, and they both kind of put the horrors behind, and they met one another and they started a family. So, I am part of a generation of new hope after absolute indescribable horror and hatred and a global war. So we are a kind of very special group, us baby boomers.' Seymour added how she is 'just so grateful to be healthy and well.' 'You know, we are not just little old ladies sitting around waiting until it's over," she said. In fact, she's booked and busy. On Monday night, Seymour opened the Nardos Fall 2025 show at New York Fashion Week, which was held at the Plaza Hotel. While not every person in their 70s can strut down a catwalk or star in a movie to keep feeling young, Seymour had one important tip to share. 'If I can inspire that little fire in someone who's sitting at home going, 'Oh, what am I gonna do with my life?' Get up and do something for someone else. You know, that's how you have a good life,' she told Yahoo. 'If you get out of your own pity party and see someone else that needs some help, see if you can cheer them up or do something.'

Alan Cumming is 'sure there's going to be a dance number' in 'Romy and Michele' sequel: 'There's got to be'
Alan Cumming isn't going to miss out on the next reunion. The Traitors host will join Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino in the long-awaited sequel to Romy and Michele's High School Reunion, he confirmed to Yahoo Entertainment. He played Sandy Frink in the 1997 cult classic. Cumming played coy at first when asked if he could tease the premise of the forthcoming film. "It's not allowed," he told Yahoo on Feb. 8 at the AARP's Movies for Grownups Awards, which he hosted. "It's actually not allowed." See for yourself — The Yodel is the go-to source for daily news, entertainment and feel-good stories. By signing up, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Policy. However, Cumming — who said production will likely begin this summer — confirmed he's spoken with Kudrow. "We were actually having a chat about Sandy, they're going to do some rewrites on Sandy, which I think are great," Cumming continued. "I loved it. Then they had some other ideas and I talked to her and was like, 'Ooh, I like that even more.'" When asked if the sequel will feature another dance number with Sorvino and Kudrow, Cumming seemed more than hopeful. "I'm sure there's going to be a dance number, there's got to be. I mean, it's so funny that it's so iconic, that [scene]," he said. Cumming's character, Sandy, was a geek in high school who shows up at the reunion as a very wealthy and successful businessman. He was always in love with Michele, but the standout scene at the end of the film involved all three characters. "I did a thing the other day for Vanity Fair. You know, when you look at your old films and you talk about them, and I remember that we got nominated for an [MTV Movie Award for] Best Dance Sequence. We didn't win, we were robbed," the actor said. Cumming recalled how in the original script, there was just one sentence: "That Sandy, Romy and Michele do a modern interpretive dance." "My god, we rehearsed for ages," Cumming said, adding that they all worked with a choreographer. "It was not ad-libbed." On Jan. 29, the Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Sorvino and Kudrow were in final negotiations to star in the sequel along with many involved in the original. The actresses will also serve as executive producers. Tim Federle will direct, and Robin Schiff, who wrote the original screenplay, is writing the sequel. When Yahoo talked with Kudrow in December, she appeared to hint at the possibility of a sequel. We asked if she had done any projects, like Romy & Michele, that she wouldn't want to be revived or rebooted. "I think it's OK," the Friends star said at the time. "Reboot whatever you want."
