Eons, the 50+ media company created by Monster.com founder Jeff Taylor, today announced that Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning actress Jane Seymour has signed on as an Advisor to the company. Eons, which will formally launch on July 31, is dedicated to inspiring a generation of boomers and seniors to live the biggest life possible.
Seymour, star and producer of the upcoming feature film "Blind Dating," will offer Eons her unique perspective and insight into leading a full life after age 50, via site content on www.eons.com and various multi-media, interactive opportunities. Said Seymour, "Aging is not something people should fear. We have choices about how much of the power we tap within ourselves and where we channel it throughout our lives. My personal journey after 50 has been marked by so many rewarding experiences from furthering my acting and producing career to developing my own signature home collection of linens and decorative accessories, participating in one woman art shows around the world, continuing with my philanthropic endeavors and, of course, raising six children. I see these possibilities only continuing to expand. In joining Eons, I look to both inspire and be inspired by the energy our generation is creating as we pursue our most important dreams and goals."
In keeping with the Eons spirit, Seymour has "Top 10'd" herself and identified at least 10 goals she wants to accomplish before she is 100:
1. Learn to meditate and take time to do it
2. Be as healthy as I can and exercise consistently
3. Learn a musical instrument
4. Break 90 in golf
5. Take a painting course in Florence
6. Make a sustainable difference in a specific area in a third world country and in the poorest parts of USA
7. Follow Darwin's journey to the Galapagos Islands
8. Learn Photoshop
9. Be computer savvy
10. Go to Australia
Visitors to the eons.com web site on July 31st can view Jane's complete list of goals and take the challenge to Top 10 their own lives.
"From acting to entrepreneurship, making a sustainable difference in impoverished communities and painting on a gigantic canvas, Jane is right out there, proud of being 50, setting goals and reinventing herself," says Taylor. "Her energy, enthusiasm and optimism are wonderfully contagious. We are very proud to work with Jane and will infuse her spirit and creativity throughout our site and new endeavors we will embark on together."
A multiple Emmy and Golden Globe winner, recipient of the Officer of the British Empire (OBE) in the year 2000, which was bestowed upon her by Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace, Seymour continues to further her career in virtually all media, the Broadway stage, motion pictures and television. Her love of art and color has led to her great success as a painter in watercolors and oils and as a designer. Jane has recently fulfilled one of her lifetime dreams by putting together the various aspects of her life into an emerging Jane Seymour brand of home products. Inspired by her art and family-centered lifestyle, Jane Seymour will launch her new Jane Seymour Home Collection this fall, and has penned a new book on home decor and her lifestyle tips entitled "Putting It All Together."
