Due to her mother's nationality, Seymour is bilingual. She adopted her stage name at 17 when she became a professional dancer. While preparing for her second performance with the Kirov Ballet, she suffered a knee injury which forced her to give up her career.

Roles in TV series The Pathfinders, The Onedin Line and The Strauss Family made her a famous name in the UK, but it was Bond flick Live and Let Die in 1973 which turned her into a star. She's worked continuously on the small and big screens ever since in such projects as Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger, Somewhere in Time, War and Remembrance, and the long-running Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman. She's also taken part in Dancing with the Stars and was last seen on the big screen in Love, Wedding, Marriage.
