I highly doubt it. Jane Seymour has a twin sister, I know that. And she
is also is show business. If you listen to each of them speak, they
speak with completely different dialects...(even though they are
portraying characters). Jane Seymour is from England and, in her normal
speaking voice, speaks with an English accent. If you listen to
Caroline, she sounds completely different.

You obviously haven't seen the '70s British series "The Survivors",
starring none other than Caroline Seymour (complete with English accent)
as one of the few people left over after a global plague. She's Jane's sister.

The name Jane Seymour is a stage name so I really don't think that they
are sisters.

I doubt it too. Jane Seymour's real name is Joyce Frankenberg

It's possible, but not likely. Jane Seymour is not her given name. It
is either a stage name or what she legally changed her name to when she
started acting. I don't recall what last name she was born with, but her
given first name is Joyce.

Now, it is possible that Caroline Seymour is her sister and changed her
name to match Jane's when she started acting. I have no idea. In any
case, you can't assume anything from the similarity of the last names.

Her real name is something like Wilhelmina Penelope Frankenheimer,
but there's no reason a sister couldn't have chosen to use the
"family stage name."

Think of "Kirk Douglas" and all the other "Douglas" boys.


What *I* wanna know is, are Rhea Perlman, Ron Perlman, and Heidi Perlman...
related?

Make that "Joyce Penelope Wilhelmina *VON* Frankenberg."

My informant was particularly insistent on the "Von,"
but backed water when I asked if there should be an
"und Zu" after the "Von."

No. Jane Seymore is just a stage name.

It was borrowed from the original Jane Seymore, Favorite wife of Henry VIII
(as those of you who watch PBS will remember)

I believe that Jane Seymour does have a twin sister, though, who's
appeared on Dr. Quinn. I saw an item about this on, I think,
Entertainment Tonight a few months ago. I don't know if her sister uses
the name "Seymour", though.
