Actor News - 14-02-05
Former James Bond girl Jane Seymour waved a small U.S. flag and cheered after she and about 9,000 other immigrants became citizens - reports Earthlink.
The British-born actress, best known for her role as Solitaire in the 1973 film "Live And Let Die" and her TV series "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman," said she's been living in the United States since 1976.
"I've realized that I've been living here longer than in my home country. America has given me unbelievable opportunities," she said. "I realized that with the U.S. elections I wanted to vote and I couldn't. I felt the time had come to participate more fully."
Seymour, 53, wore a cream-colored suit to Friday's ceremony at the downtown Los Angeles Convention Center. She sat between more than a dozen U.S. military personnel who also received their citizenship.
Her sons, 9-year-old twins John and Kristopher, said they were excited to see their mom become a U.S. citizen.
"She's not an alien anymore," John said.
