Jane Seymour has explained she "saw the light" during an incident which could have killed her in the 1980s.
The actress who played Bond girl Solitaire in the movie Live and Let Die admits she contracted bronchitis while filming a movie but was stunned after going into anaphylactic shock.
Jane, 72, who last appeared in the Ian Flemming series in 1973 was treated with antibiotics although they were not administered properly and almost had a detrimental effect on her.
The medication had been injected into a vein rather than a muscle which had severe consequences on her health and almost killed her.

She went on to say: "I have no idea, I do know that I left my body [after the near-lethal antibiotics].
"I did see the white light and I did look down and quite clearly see and hear everyone screaming and trying to resuscitate me, which they were able to do."
Jane added to The Times Magazine: "But when you’re out of your body, everything goes very calm."
But while many often have regrets in life, the Uxbridge-born actress admits that she isn't one of them and says she has "grown" from what she has been through.

According to Jane, it's down to a lighting trick she calls "Jane's igloo" and it has a way of removing the bags from under her eyes.
"Basically, the minute you take the top light off me I don't have bags under my eyes," she explained before going on to add: "If you have top light, my eyes become very baggy, so, I need something straight at me."
Speaking to Definition magazine, the actress said she can work with a lot of light having perfected her trick over the decades before going on to say: "I've done so many films where I understand the light for me, I'm also an artist and like to do photography as well, so I understand what makes good and bad light for myself - what will and won't work.
"I never have to ask, though, they figure it out, usually on the first day."
