Actress Jane Seymour, 75, is giving fans a glimpse into her early life with rare images from her little-known first marriage. The intimate wedding photos, all cast in that distinctive yellow of '70s-era film, capture Seymour as a young, 20-year-old bride—long before she became a Hollywood star.
In the bridal portrait of Seymour in 1971, she smiles sweetly, wearing a classic white gown with a romantic, high-collar design and a lace bodice and sleeves. She's holding small bouquet of roses and wearing a simple string of pearls and flowers in her hair, giving off that bohemian vibe typical of the early 1970s. The next photos are group shots from the wedding.
The photos capture Seymour's first wedding to theatre director Michael Attenborough, which took place in the UK on July 10, 1971. The couple was married from 1971 to 1973.

Michael is the nephew of world-renowned naturalist and broadcaster Sir David Attenborough, who recently turned 100 years old and has subsequently been in the news. His milestone birthday prompted Seymour to share the photos from her brief time as part of the prominent British arts family.
In fact, Seymour made her big-screen debut in the 1969 directorial debut from the late Richard Attenborough (best known these days for his role in the '90s Jurassic Park series). It was a satirical musical comedy titled Oh! What a Lovely War, and Jane was an uncredited teenage extra in the film. For context, Richard was older brother to Sir David, father to Michael, and, for a brief time, father-in-law to Jane.
"Celebrating the wonderful David Attenborough’s 100th birthday. ?" Seymour captions the wedding shots on her Instagram. "These photographs come from a very special chapter of my life, and it felt like a lovely opportunity to honour someone whose voice, passion, and dedication have educated and inspired so many people around the world."
