Jane Seymour is known for roles in movies like the 1973 James Bond film, Live & Let Die, the 1980 film, Somewhere In Time, East of Eden, War and Remembrance and the Wedding Crashers. Not only has Jane Seymour earned an Emmy Award and two Golden Globe Awards, she has also been appointed as an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in the year 2000. Sadly, she almost didn't get to rack up all of these accolades after a near-death experience.
At the age of 36, Seymour almost died after having an allergic reaction to a penicillin injection. Jane spoke on her experience, saying, "I literally left my body. I had this feeling that I could see myself on the bed, with people grouped around me. I remember them all trying to resuscitate me. I was above them, in the corner of the room looking down. I saw people putting needles in me, trying to hold me down, doing things. I remember my whole life flashing before my eyes, but I wasn't thinking about winning Emmys or anything like that. The only thing I cared about was that I wanted to live because I did not want anyone else looking after my children. I was floating up there thinking, 'No, I don't want to die. I'm not ready to leave my kids.' And that was when I said to God, 'If you're there, God, if you really exist and I survive, I will never take your name in vain again.' Although I believe that I 'died' for about 30 seconds, I can remember pleading with the doctor to bring me back. I was determined I wasn't going to die."
