NARRATORSPicturing Mary is narrated by actress Jane Seymour and features quotations read by actor James Keach. About Jane SeymourA multiple Emmy and Golden Globe winner, recipient of the Officer of the British Empire (OBE) in the year 2000, which was bestowed on her by Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace, Jane Seymour has proven her talents in virtually all media, the Broadway stage, motion pictures and television. Her love of art and color have led to her great success as a painter in watercolors and oils and as a fashion designer. Awarded a Golden Globe for her role as “Dr. Quinn,” in the long-running drama Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, Seymour blazed a trail for family-worthy programming to return to series television. The program fostered a devoted audience and a wide audience demand for fulfilling, informative drama that parents could share and enjoy with their children. Seymour’s success as an author has been exemplified by the recent success of her non-fiction novel entitled Two at a Time: A Journey through Twin Pregnancy and Birth. Another non-fiction work titled Remarkable Changes chronicles the story of several individuals as well as Jane, overcoming adversities and life’s challenges and coming out better for having lived through them. Seymour and husband James Keach have co-authored a series of exceedingly successful children’s books entitled, This One and That One. Published by Angel Gate, the delightful books are inspired by their altered life since the actress gave birth to twins. The whimsical stories transpose the Keach household into a family of cats whose lives are constantly energized by the antics of their toddler kitty twins and a new arrival called “The Other One.” About James KeachJames Keach has worked as an actor, writer, producer and director.
