In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Seymour appeared in numerous issues of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, and appeared on the cover of Vogue. During the same period, Seymour was a primary lingerie and hosiery model for the relatively new Victoria's Secret company in its mail-order catalogs and retail stores. In 1991 and again in 1994, Seymour posed for Playboy.^[1]

In July 2007, it was reported that Salvatore Ferragamo had finished the creative campaign for his fall/winter 2007/2008 collection featuring Seymour and Claudia Schiffer. The collection was shot on location in Italy with Mario Testino. In the promotional photos, the supermodels play film stars protected by bodyguards and pursued by the paparazzi.^[6]

Acting

In 2000, Seymour played Helen Frankenthaler in the movie Pollock. In 2002 she played the role of Sara Lindstrom in the "Crazy" episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent.

Personal life

At the age of 16, she began dating John Casablancas, the head of Elite Model Management, who was, at the time, married to another model Jeanette Christjansen. The couple lived together before Seymour broke off the relationship.^[7]

From 1989 to 1990 she was married to guitarist Tommy Andrews.^[1] The marriage failed, but resulted in the birth of her son, Dylan Thomas Andrews in 1991.^[8]

In 1991, she dated actor Warren Beatty. After her relationship with Beatty, she was involved with Axl Rose, the lead singer of Guns N' Roses. She appeared in two music videos by Guns N' Roses: "Don't Cry" and "November Rain". The couple broke up in February 1993 after Rose accused Seymour of being unfaithful.^[9] In August 1993, Rose sued Seymour for assaulting him during a 1992 Christmas party, mental and emotion abuse, and for withholding $100,000 worth of jewelry. Rose claimed he and Seymour were engaged. In turn, Seymour countersued Rose for assaulting her and denied they were ever engaged.^[10][11][12]

Shortly after her breaking up Rose, Seymour began dating Peter Brant, a married publisher and real estate developer.^[13] Seymour became pregnant shortly after they began dating and gave birth to the couple's first son (her second), in January 1994. Seymour and Brant married in 1995. Seymour gave birth to their second son in 1997^[8] and to their third child, a daughter, in 2004.
