If you want to know what a girl will look like in 20 years time, the saying goes, study her mother.
In the case of Katie Seymour, perhaps she won't have changed much.
The 26-year-old actress bears such a striking likeness to her more famous mother Jane that they could pass for sisters.
Which is a remarkable tribute to the achievement of the 56-year-old former Bond girl in maintaining the face and figure of her own youth.
Like mother like daughter? Jane Seymour and daughter Katie
Without a wrinkle in sight, she doesn't look much different to the 22-year-old who starred with Roger Moore in Live And Let Die.
She also scores highly in the modesty stakes. 'I think Katie is far more beautiful than I was at that age,' she says.
'She's very natural, has fantastic skin and there's not a piercing or tattoo on her.'
Four-times married Miss Seymour has admitted having breast implants and a 'minor' eyelift, and says she has considered liposuction.
But she credits time spent with Katie, the product of her marriage to her former business manager David Flynn, for helping to keep her feeling young.
'We go to the theatre, or we run through our lines together,' she said. 'And she brings her friends round, which is fun. I'm usually surrounded by twentysomethings!'
The respect is mutual. Katie tells Hello! magazine: 'She treats me as an equal. And if I ever need something to wear, my favourite thing is to go and borrow from my mum.
'She has really great taste.'
