Making her big screen debut, Jane Seymour plays a rather naive tarot card reader in the service of Mr. Big. Trusting a little too much in a stacked deck, Solitaire succumbs to Bond's advances and loses her powers of perception, but gains freedom for her egotistical boss.

Most memorable quote:
Bond turns over a tarot card: the Fool
Solitaire: You have found yourself.

Biography

The raven-haired daughter of a prosperous British gynecologist, Jane Seymour made her stage debut at 13 as a member of the London Festival Ballet, after training at the Arts Educational School. Five years later, she switched to acting, making her screen bow as part of a huge ensemble in Oh, What A Lovely War! (1968). She entered the fan-mag files with her portrayal of the enigmatic Solitaire in the 1973 James Bond epic Live and Let Die, following this with a barely dressed ingenue turn in Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger (1974). While her subesquent film appearances were well received (as was her engagement in the 1980 Broadway production of Amadeus), Seymour's larger fame rested on her prolific TV work, notably on such miniseries as East of Eden and War and Remembrance. In 1988, she won an Emmy for her portrayal of Maria Callas in the TV miniseries Onassis.
