Jane Seymour: A Powerful Producer Once Lured Me to His Home

Jane Seymour, always beautiful and always charming, has done a new interview.


In it, she talks about feeling sexier than ever despite her age, she talks about fending off the flirtations of confident men who are half her age, and her career.


She also shares her harrowing #MeToo story from early in her career.



Taking to Instagram, the gorgeous Jane Seymour couldn’t wait to deliver great news.


“I’m THRILLED to finally share this with you!”


She’s pregnant — we’re kidding! It’s an interview, which is much better for a 67-year-old.


“I was recently photographed and interviewed in my home by Playboy.”


And here’s what she discussed:


“I open up about my career, my family, feeling better-than-ever at 67 and so much more!”


And that interview is now available. Here are some of the highlights:



“I feel much sexier now than I ever did when I was younger.”


She is 67 years old and gorgeous, but it seems that part of that sexiness is simply a state of mind.


In her youth, she was worried over what it meant.


“Then I was like, ‘Oh gosh, I’m supposed to be sexy. What is that?!”


Age, she feels, has liberated her.


“There’s an enormous freedom in having lived as long as I have.”


Loving yourself can be a real key to happiness.


“Like my father used to say, I’m comfortable in my own skin.”



As a beautiful woman, she still finds herself on the receiving end of flirtations from much younger men, characterized as “confident thirtysomethings.”


“I said, ‘Oh darn, in another life.’ I find that very flattering.”


Not everyone’s a cougar. But then, not everyone could land a man half her age with minimal effort.


“I mean, usually you’re invisible by this age!”


But she doesn’t feel in any way insecure about her looks or sex appeal.


“I”m not trying to prove anything to anyone.”


In fact, she doesn’t sound insecure about anything.


“When you’re younger, its all about ‘look at me.’ I’m not trying to get anyone to look at me.



Unfortunately, Jane Seymour has her own harrowing #MeToo story to share, starting with a powerful producer who invited her to his home when she was young and new and needed the work.


She says that he told her: “I’ve persuaded everyone that you are the perfect person to play this role. It wasn’t easy. Now it’s your turn.”


At this point, though no one else was at the house despite her expectations, Jane said that she still believed that this was a professional meeting.


“I said, ‘Yeah, I’m gonna do the screen test.’”


Then her naivete was shattered.


But he apparently said to her: “No, no, now it’s your turn. I’ve done this for you.”


That’s when things got physical.


She says that he then put his hand “in the wrong place.” She then crossed her legs and scooted away from him.


Despite being so terrified that she was shaking, she recalls asking him to call her a cab.


“He put me in a car and said, ‘If anyone knows you ever came here, if you ever tell anyone, ever, I’ll guarantee you never work again anywhere on the planet.’”


She believed him.


“And he had that power. I got in the cab and cried, terrified.”



She did get away at that time and went on to launch a powerful career.


Her fame has had its ups and downs over the years, but every pitfall in her life has been followed by a triumphant rise.


“People say, ‘You’re like a phoenix.’ No, I just had a strong role model in my mother.”


She imparts some advice on readers.


“Everyone will have challenges. Your natural instinct is to close up your heart and let it eat you up. Do something to help someone.”


She says that it will make you into a better person.


“It will heal you. You’ll be like a magnet when you do that. Light to firefly.”

Kendall Jenner Hits Back at Stephanie Seymour: She"s a Cyberbully!

Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid have recently been raked over the coals by several icons in the fashion industry.



Earlier this year, legendary designer Calvin Klein said he wouldn’t have put Kendall in his ads if he’d still been at the helm.


Then former model Rebecca Romijn told the world that Kendall and Gigi “are not true supermodels.


The latest diss comes from one of the original supermodels of the 90s, Stephanie Seymour.


“Supermodels are sort of the thing of the past. They deserve their own title,” she explained.


“Bitches of the moment!” Seymour suggested as a title for the new crop of models.


The consensus in the fashion community seems to be that designers have adopted Kendall and Gigi due to their social media influence (born out of reality shows Keeping Up With the Kardashians and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills) rather than their hard work or skills.


“I know a lot of people — legitimate fashion people — can’t stand it,” Romijn told Entertainment Tonight.


But now Kendall’s had enough of the shade.


She recently took to her app and website to play defense.


“If you choose to be a cyberbully, I’m going to stick up for myself,” she began.



“No one is trying to steal Stephanie Seymour’s thing, or trying to be her. I actually looked up to her. She has a daughter!


“I guarantee you that she didn’t imagine someone so publicly shaming her daughter when she made those comments about us being ‘bitches of the moment.’”


Kendall went on to defend her and Gigi’s supermodel status.


“If people want to call Gigi and I supermodels now, it doesn’t take anything away from supermodels of the past,” she asserted.


“Obviously, I have so much respect for those women, but right now, we’re the models of this time. Significant? Maybe. Hardworking? For sure.”


However they got there, Kendall and Gigi are indeed the models of the moment. It’s a new day and social media didn’t exist in the 90s, and maybe if it had, Stephanie Seymour wouldn’t have had a job.


I can see how it might be frustrating for someone who thinks they “earned” their supermodel status by working harder, but perhaps these folks should be targeting the designers and agencies who’ve created this new tide shift in fashion rather than the models themselves.


Just a thought.

Stephanie Seymour: Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid are Cool, But Supermodels They Are Not

Alrighty!



Stephanie Seymour, one of the legendary supermodels to emerge from the 1990s, was asked by Vanity Fair to describe this generation’s crop of pretty young things.


“Bitches of the moment!” she joked.


“Supermodels are sort of the thing of the past. They deserve their own title,” Seymour said diplomatically.


“[Kendall and Gigi] are beautiful girls, and I support all of them, but they need their own title.


“They are completely different than we were,” Seymour explained, referring to her contemporaries Linda Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer, Helena Christenson, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford.



“Modeling was more of a mysterious back then.  The talent could get weird with super-rich men, do tons of drugs and get away with so much more because reality TV and social media didn’t exist.


Unfortunately, those two things are largely responsible for Jenner and Hadid’s careers.


“Because there weren’t cameras around us all the time, we got away with so much more and had so much more fun,” Seymour said.


“We didn’t have people watching us all the time, and we weren’t putting ourselves out there in a way that was turning the media against us or for us in any way.


“We still had our privacy, and there was more of an illusion behind the girls. You lose your illusion when you give much of yourself away, and that’s what I don’t like about it.”


Rebecca Romijn was a bit more critical in describing how much the world of modeling has changed.


I know a lot of people — legitimate fashion people — can’t stand it,” Romijn told Entertainment Tonight.


“Hate it that these, you know, social media stars are now the supermodels in fashion. They are not true supermodels.”


The same could be said for models trying to become actresses, Madame Romijn…
