On 17 January 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved to Jane Seymour (actress, born 1951). The result of the discussion was not moved.

Learned Something

I have green right eye and a brown left eye. So does my maternal grandmother. Never knew it had a name until I checked info on Jane Seymour and followed the link. Eye doctor just said it is our genetic's, but nothing wrong. Dakota Kahn—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.28.253.196 (talk) 18:33, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Is this anyway her Near-death experience can be included in her personal life? It is references in the article below as well as other sources when searched for. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2022038/What-happens-die-Near-death-survivors-life-side.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nautica80 (talk • contribs) 12:40, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Amadeus

Any particular reason that a film that wins 8 awards doesn't get listed as a significant point in her career? (Is there some reason why it didn't have much impact on her career when it did on others who played in it? I don't know.) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TaigaBridge (talk • contribs) 04:33, September 25, 2006 (UTC)

She wasn't in the film, she was in the Broadway play. --rogerd 11:14, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wasn't her character name in the Onedin Line Leonora Biddulph? Britmax 02:28, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No everyone else seems to think Leonora was Kate Nelligan. Funny how my memory plays tricks on me! Britmax 11:31, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Citizenships

I don't know anything about what happens when people become citizens of another country so I'm naturally curious as well as raising a potential point. Did Jane have to give up her British citizenship to become an American citizen or is she allowed to be both simultaniously? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Captainbeecher (talk • contribs) 18:07, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

She's allowed to be both. The US allows dual citizenship.71.34.106.57 (talk) 20:01, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Don't Forget Tenko

Jane did an awesome job in that British series about imprisoned wives during WW2. Dwacon (talk) 00:59, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Missing Info

Jane is in a movie called Yesterday's Children that is not listed here, neither the film is listed on wikipedia IMDB Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.43.98.162 (talk) 23:45, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Huh?

According to NEWSMEAT, Jane Seymour gave $2000 in 2004 to Rep. Dan Burton, 5th District of Indiana (R). Why in the world would she do that? I mean, because she lives in California, doesn't she? What interest does she have in the 5th District Race? I find it incredibly bizzare! (Of course, she has every right to do so, it's just, What the?!)199.8.26.10 (talk) 03:01, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jane Seymour and the #metoo movement

I think Jane is asking everyone to show "restraint".

The majority of moviegoers should understand "actors" are artists.

When actors can no longer express the human condition "In Person" , "Great Stage" or on the "Big Screen" .

Humanity loses

Women are in control now!!

I believe that the greatest of all surprises awaits. jontopia — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jontopia (talk • contribs) 03:03, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality in lede

Per WP:BLPLEAD we most commonly want to mention the subject's nationality or citizenship in the lede sentence. That citizenship for Seymour is unequivocally and thoroughly American by her 4 decades of residence, Hollywood career, and ceremony. She is English by ethnicity and heritage, but that is minimally relevant to this case, because of the way Wikipedia needs us to describe people. I would also move to modify the various categories referring to "English..." actress, etc. unless we intend them to refer to her ethnicity per WP:EGRS. 2600:8800:1880:91E:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 00:24, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Tillerh11: it was not vandalism, so please be careful with your automated tools. 2600:8800:1880:91E:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 00:26, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I did not say the edit was vandalism. See my message on your talk page for explanation on why I reverted your edit. Tillerh11 (talk) 00:49, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Tillerh11: I have not seen a valid defense of the status quo, nor have I seen any further objections here at the talk page. So I am prepared to implement the change in order to conform with Wikipedia MOS:BIO guideline. However, I will allow a few more days for thorough discussion and more opinions.

I have made a revision which must satisfy everyone. It also illustrates her age at the date of her US naturalisation. Trust the matter is now closed. ‑ ‑ Gareth Griffith‑Jones ^{The Welsh Buzzard} ‑ ‑ 08:59, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The phrasing is slightly unusual, but I suppose hers is an unusual situation worthy of such a compromise. But I would say that there remains the issue of the categories. Are they intended to continue indicating her ethnicity rather than nationality? I believe that would be unusual for most of them. 2600:8800:1880:91E:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 12:02, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you.
Has she relinquished her British nationality? ‑ ‑ Gareth Griffith‑Jones ^{The Welsh Buzzard} ‑ ‑ 12:29, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The only source I could readily find was Pictures that Talk. It says she has done so. It is run by two guys with arguably good credentials, but not high on my WP:RS-scale. FWIW, zero sources say she retained citizenship. 2600:8800:1880:91E:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 13:45, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OBE

The article states that Seymour is an OBE. But is that accurate now? Don’t you loose an OBE if you disassociate yourself from Britain (e.g. if you become a naturalized citizen of another sovereign nation)? Carissimi (talk) 23:39, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion in progress

Jane Seymour's sexually assaulted

Many sources mentioned the producer Ray Stark that sexually assaulted her. Daily Mail Huffpost — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:2149:860E:7200:357D:CD79:DB67:8EF2 (talk) 01:06, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 17 January 2023

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved. Favonian (talk) 17:49, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

– There are two English Wikipedia entries for an actress named "Jane Seymour", therefore main title header "Jane Seymour (actress)" represents incomplete disambiguation and should redirect to Jane Seymour (disambiguation). As far as national identity is concerned, the actress born in 1951 is English, but has become an American citizen and the one born in 1893 was Canadian, but had lived most of her life in the U.S. and only acted in the U.S. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 16:50, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose – I'm going to invoke the final section exception in WP:INCDAB, and say that the British actress is certainly the "primary subtopic" here. That article already has a hatnote to the Canadian actress, so really there is no issue here. IOW, the proposed solution is substantially worse for our readership than the current situation. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 18:22, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
However, I would create both of the suggested titles as redirects if this requested move does not happen. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 23:38, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I also prefer to invoke that exception in WP:INCDAB, and agree that the one born in 1951 should be the "primary subtopic", especially when that article gets way more page views than for the one born in 1893.[1] It also does not help that the article for the one born in 1893 currently only consists of one paragraph, a filmography table only listing three entries, and only one citation in the "references" section -- hardly an indication of relative long-term significance when compared to the current article for the one born in 1951, with a four-paragraph lead section; "Early life", "Acting career", "Writing and fashion careers", and "Awards" sections; the filmography split to a List of Jane Seymour performances sub-page, and at least 39 citations. Zzyzx11 (talk) 05:12, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per IJBall and Zzyzx11 above. In terms of pageviews and long-term significance, the threshold for incomplete disambiguation is certainly met here. Lennart97 (talk) 17:30, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
