John Wayne dined with Jane Seymour<\/a> on an airplane before she shot to global stardom.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jane Seymour dined with John Wayne on a plane before she became a global star<\/p>\n

The star – who got her first big role as Bond girl Solitaire in 1973’s Live and Let Die – was flying first class on her first trip to Los Angeles, California, as a young actress, when a stewardess approached Jane and said that the legend of Hollywood westerns wanted to spend time with her.<\/p>\n

Jane – who is still shocked by that experience with The Longest Day actor – recalled to People: “I came to Hollywood on an airplane, obviously, and while I was sitting there in first class, the stewardess said, \u2018Mr. Wayne would like you to dine with him.’<\/p>\n

“Who comes to Hollywood as a young actress and actually sits down in a dining area on – not a 747 – but on a big jet to Los Angeles next to John Wayne<\/a>?”<\/p>\n

Jane – who, after Live and Let Die, went on to become a household name, starring in more films, including the 1980 romance-fantasy Somewhere in Time, and the 2005 comedy-romance Wedding Crashers – is currently writing an autobiography.<\/p>\n

\nShe added: “And I’ve got so many stories and so many extraordinary things that have happened that I keep thinking, \u2018How did that actually happen to me?\u2019”<\/p>\n

\nHowever, the Golden Globe-winning actress – who has also appeared in TV shows, including sci-fi Battlestar Galactica, and western Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman – is struggling to decide what to put in the book.<\/p>\n

\nJane, 74, admitted: “I’m trying to figure out what to do with all the material I can’t put in the book. I’m actually trying to think out of the box. <\/p>\n

\n“I’m just thinking while I’m doing it, I want to make sure that the book is great and it has a purpose, but then I’m trying to figure out what to do with the rest of the stories.”<\/p>\n

\nSome other stories include Hollywood star Gloria Swanson asking Jane to play her in a movie about her life, as well as meeting legendary actor-and-director Laurence Olivier right at the start of Jane’s acting career.<\/p>\n

\nSpeaking of meeting Olivier, she remembered: “I remember him telling stories about school days and then going the next day on the set and watching him literally play that character. That was amazing.”<\/p>\n
