Video Transcript

JANE SEYMOUR: I really want to clarify because, honestly, I was so upset. Let's just set the record straight. I did not say that.

The interview was saying, we see you played in the scene with Joan Collins, who is 87. And you're nearly 70, and you played 25 in a flashback of Eleanor of Aquitaine. I said, well, you know, if you think I can do it, and you can do all that digital stuff, that's fine.

The director told me two days before, that he did not want anyone else playing the other scenes. Unbeknownst to me, he went and shot with another girl on that Monday, before I ever did it. I went, oh, well, that's curious. I never said, I should play 25. In fact, on many, many occasions told him that I thought that was probably a stupid idea. But I did play it. That's the bit "The Times" doesn't mention. I did actually do the scene-- the big scene-- with Joan Collins. Who knows, maybe they'll throw it away.

I try to keep my weight around 120 pounds. I don't do any kind of crazy diets. It's a combination of some kind of aerobic exercise, light weights, or isometrics-- all of which you can do at home, in isolation. And a decent cream. And that's it. And I eat healthily just because I happen to love it. And I feel better that way.

It's about healthy living. It's about taking good vitamins. It's about drinking lots of water. It's about having a positive attitude. Everything in moderation. I suppose that's my mantra.

I break out old costumes all the time. I used to have it in my contract that I kept every single costume. You would be astounded by my closets. It occurred to me that maybe one day these would be meaningful to somebody. You know, if they'd ever seen the movie, and they'd-- oh, that's the dress was such and such.

But I break them out and wear them, absolutely. I've worn-- gosh, I've worn dresses from "Crossings," that Nolan Miller created, on many occasions for red carpet. "People Magazine" did a re-shoot of a cover I'd done in the '70s, and got my son, who's a professional photographer, to shoot it. I actually had the dress and the necklace.

Sometimes, actually, in the past with my young kids, last minute having figured out what they're going to be for Halloween. And it was like, Mom, you're going to dress up. And I'm like, oh no, I haven't thought about it. Usually I just throw a Dr. Quinn outfit on. And then people will stop and say, oh, you look-- I know what you're playing. You look just like that-- you know, in that show.
