Why Jane Seymour Couldn't Turn Down Wedding Crashers' Kathleen Role
Actress Jane Seymour says that she couldn't turn down her role in the Owen Wilson/Vince Vaughn comedy Wedding Crashers. Seymour played Kathleen Cleary, the wife of Christopher Walken's Secretary William Cleary, who takes a particular liking to Wilson's character. The film was directed by David Dobkin and co-starred Rachel McAdams, Isla Fisher, Bradley Cooper, and Will Ferrell. Wedding Crashers has since become a classic of the genre and is a frequently quoted film of the mid-2000s.
Seymour has been on the acting scene for over 50 years, kicking things off as a Bond girl in Roger Moore's Live and Let Die, before taking on a multitude of roles in film and television throughout her career. She's best known for her work on the show Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman, which ran for six seasons throughout the 90s. Seymour also appeared in Smallville as Genevieve Teague and later appeared in notable shows like Netflix's The Kominsky Method, as well as the currently-running detective series Harry Wild.
