This celebrity with unique eyes has gone through a lot, including harassment, heartbreak, and betrayal. However, those experiences have not stopped her from rising above them or deterred her from breaking records.

This girl was born in 1951 in Middlesex, England. Her mother was a nurse, and her father was a gynecologist/obstetrician. She is of Polish, Jewish, and Dutch descent.

In a December 2017 interview, this girl revealed that she first came to the US for a screen test for her first Hollywood movie when she was about 22 or 23 years old. But she was sexually harassed by a producer whom she refrained from naming out of respect and because he had already passed away.

She had a good experience with her first movie, describing the producer as "wonderful." During that same period, another producer also asked to test her for a project. He had contacted her agent, who told her about the opportunity.

This second producer said he had a copy for her that she needed to go through and told her agent that she should go to his house, where he was doing a big screening for a movie.

According to her, he was going to show her the test before other people arrived, so it was only the two of them together in the same room upon arrival. She described him as the "single most powerful man in Hollywood at that time." And after he finished showing her the copy, he said to her:

"You're amazing, you're fantastic. I'm so excited. I've told everyone that you're the perfect person for our movie. […] And now it's your turn."

In response, she said, "My turn?" and he replied: "Yeah, now you know what you've got to do." They were sitting on the same couch, and he put his hand on her thigh, and she tried to move over until she eventually stood up and said she wanted to go.

He threatened her, saying if she uttered a word about their encounter, she would never work anywhere in the world again. The star did not say anything at the time and ended up passing up the gig. However, several years later, she opened up about the incident in her book, "The Road Ahead."

This girl made her movie debut as a child in the war musical "Oh! What a Lovely War" in 1969 alongside stars such as Vanessa Redgrave, Michael Redgrave, Maggie Smith, and John Mills.

She later gained worldwide fame after landing the iconic role of a Bond girl. She attracted the producers of the "James Bond" film franchise after they saw her on British television. She was cast as the main Bond girl in "Live and Let Die" in 1973 and later relocated to the US.

The actress was requested to ditch her English accent and adopt an American accent to land more roles on American television. She did as asked, and she started bagging more roles, earning five Emmy Award nominations for her work onscreen and winning several awards.

Who Is This Girl Who Has Unusual Eyes & Became the Oldest Playboy Model

Although she lost her British accent to appease producers, this girl revealed in a February 2018 interview that she did not change her physical appearance as she had no work done on her face:

"I haven't done any surgeries or injections or anything. I haven't done any of it. So I still look like 'me.'

This girl who wants to remain authentic is Jane Seymour, who became the oldest Playboy Model at age 67. The veteran star also has unusual eyes, which often develop redness.

In a March 2019 interview, Seymour revealed she uses Naphcon A, an eye drop for allergy relief, and stated, "It works better than any other no-redness eye drops." She always carries it around in her purse.

Seymour has one brown eye and one green one, much like veteran actor Dan Akroyd. The two stars have a rare condition called heterochromia, which is when a person has different-colored eyes. The Golden Globe Award winner, who has a crooked smile, revealed during an October 2019 interview what a doctor once said to her:

"The optician says I'm the only person of my age he knows with 20:20 vision. It must be all the carrots I ate as a girl."

Seymour Has Been Married Four Times and All of Them Ended in Divorce

Seymour is now 72 years old and has four children: one daughter and three sons whom she welcomed in two different marriages. The brown-haired beauty has been married four times.

The award-winning star's first marriage was to theatrical producer Michael Attenborough, whom she married when she was only 20. She later wed writer Geoffrey Planer, and both these unions were short-lived.

Seymour's third husband was businessman David Flynn, whom she was married to from 1981 until 1992. In a November 2020 interview, she revealed that Flynn left her broke. He was also her manager and had made investments without her knowledge.

By the time she found out, he had lost all their fortune and "left me in nine million debt in the red with lawsuits from every major bank," Seymour disclosed, adding:

"I was homeless, penniless."

The Emmy Award winner managed to get back on track after she landed a role in "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" alongside Joe Lando and Jessica Bowman. The show aired from 1993 to 1998.

Seymour later married for the fourth time in 1993 with actor James Keach. However, that marriage also crumbled in 2013 because of his infidelity.

Seymour was left "devastated" when she learned the filmmaker cheated on her with someone she knew which, according to her, was "frightening." She sincerely believed they would remain married "forever" and felt "horrible" when she accidentally found out about his cheating and that it had been going on for some time. The Hollywood star expressed:

"I don't do well with betrayal. If someone says: 'Things aren't good, let's separate,' it would be different. But I was never privy to that conversation."

Seymour attempted to salvage her marriage until she realized it would never be the same again. She and Keach officially divorced in 2015. The movie star lost her confidence as a result. She tried to date as some of her friends introduced her to other people, but she could not connect with any of them at the time.
