But she’s not against plastic surgery, she just doesn’t feel like it’s the right decision for her personally.
“I’ve played a lot of great roles, most recently two women with Alzheimer’s with very emotional scenes, and to be that emotional it takes every muscle in your face,” Seymour said.
“So I have nothing against people doing what they want, but for me personally, it doesn’t help me in my craft unless I’m playing someone who’s had Botox, in which case I’d be completely over it.”
And she has one beauty tip everyone can follow: smile.
“The best facelift is a smile,” she said. “If you want to look young, just smile from ear to ear.”
Earlier, the Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman star says she’s eschewing plastic surgery in favor of “temporary enhancements” because she wants her face to remain natural and expressive for her acting.
“I’m a temporary improvement person, rather than a permanent improvement person. If I need eyelashes, I stick them on. If I need more hair, I cut some.
‘Being an actress, sometimes I have to play roles much younger than me and then in the same show much older than me, so I keep my face mobile.
“That’s why I don’t do the things that a lot of people do, because I’m a blank canvas. I’m an actress,” Jane explained.
“I want to be able to play every emotion there is, because it would be like having a stringed instrument and taking off some strings or numbing them.”
The British-American beauty has also been very vocal about ageism in Hollywood.
And “to set the record straight — because people were wrong — they tried to do something to my under-eyes when I was 40 because photographers kept saying I had bulging eyes,” she told People, seen in 1995.

In an interview with Hello! magazine she said: ‘The world is against an aging population. We hate getting older. We look at aging and say, “Oh no, there’s a wrinkle, oh my God. Get rid of it. Gray hair. No. Terrifying!”
“While you can also look at it the other way around and actually say: I now have time in my life to do things that I really want to do,” she explained. Maybe now I can become the person I want to be.
‘Menopause is a taboo subject, no one wants to talk about getting older, especially women, because they do everything they can to look twenty to thirty years younger.
“So the last thing they want to do is talk about that, and there’s always been that whole thing that when you turn 50 you don’t have babies anymore, so now you’re kind of useless. You’re on the fence, you’re done.’
