A truly beautiful, extraordinarily talented, intelligent, and classy lady. She is a survivor and I'm so proud of her for both having stood up for herself and for speaking out!

Jane looks like she's aging gracefully and absolutely stunning. Too bad other Hollywood women don't take a page from Jane's book because her beauty surpasses all of them.

Not convinced about natural, she looks very fresh and unwrinkled for 66, but she's definitely not going overboard like those flat-ironed plastic monsters Hollywood usually has- and she looks better than all of them.

If you name the predator and don't want to press charges against them you can be sued for defamation. You might not want to press charges because of shock, because it's your word against theirs or because suing someone is expensive and time consuming. Someone who has been through a traumatic experience might not be in the right headspace to do anything or tell anyone.

Not mentioning his name continues the polite mannerly madness females learn from day one and which perpetuates decades-long bad behavior of males. I'm sure there will be comments saying she's such a lady not to disclose his name. In my opinion, this is national mistake #1. These guys need to know there are no more dark corners and freebie cover-ups. Jane Seymour is from a close-knit supportive family, mother and sisters. She also is very intuitive, trusts her intuition and she and her family had guidance and healing from Betty Shine, the late UK psychic medium and healer.

Women can be predators, too. It's just not as widely reported or as trendy of a topic as male bashing... This year alone, on two separate occasions, I was inappropriately touched by ugly old broads that invited themselves to paw me just because they thought I was too shy and polite to object. Boy were they wrong.

Philosopher Ruwen Ogien defended the freedom to offend as essential to artistic creation. In the same way, we defend a freedom to bother as indispensable to sexual freedom. Today we are educated enough to understand that sexual impulses are, by nature, offensive and primitive - but we are also able to tell the difference between an awkward attempt to pick someone up and what constitutes a sexual assault.
