In an industry that often stigmatizes aging, the British-born actress stands out, embracing it with confidence and grace. In fact, she says this stage of her life has brought her great happiness. “I feel an extraordinary freedom at the moment,” she tells Hello! “I really do.”

There’s no question that Jane lives life to the fullest, not only as a Hollywood star – feted for her role in the 1990s TV drama Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman – but also as a devoted grandmother and mom to her four children: Katherine, 41, Sean, 38, and twins John and Kristopher, 27.

“All the kids have now left home and taken off, and it’s my time for me,” she says. “There’s no point talking about next year or the year after because I don’t know about tomorrow. I live very much in the moment. If someone says, ‘Do you want to?’ I go ‘Yes’ and ‘Let’s do it now, not tomorrow.’”

EMBRACING THE YEARS 

As someone who seems to know all the secrets to living a long, happy and healthy life, Jane is generous in sharing her perspective.
