Dr. Quinn Back In Primetime

For six years, Jane Seymour starred as Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, a lone female doctor on the American frontier. The series, which went off the air in 1998, is now coming back to primetime as a CBS movie.

"It's huge," Seymour told CBS This Morning Co-Anchor Mark McEwen. "It has everything. It has romance. It has the doctor, the town, the family, and it has amazing action sequences."

Until Dr. Quinn arrived on the scene, Saturday night was considered a ratings graveyard. The show's immense popularity surprised everyone from TV programmers to the star herself.

"You know the thing that made us all laugh? I think it was the first or second season . . . I was voted sexiest woman on television for Dr. Quinn, Seymour says. "And we figured out that people only saw above my neck, and never my ankles. They saw some wrists."

Recently, Seymour was honored with a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame. It was all due to the efforts of loyal fans who nominated her, raised the necessary funds and even reunited Seymour's family.

"Through the internet, they managed to track down my mother and my sisters, so I got this call one day from my mom and sister saying 'We're dropping everything. We're coming for this thing. How come you didn't tell us?'" Seymour recalls.

With Seymour's husband, James Keach, directing, the movie is also a family affair. "I think it's going to be the best Dr. Quinn that was ever made," Seymour says.
