LOS ANGELES - Mieke Frankenberg, the mother of Jane Seymour and a survivor of a Japanese concentration camp, has died. She was 92.
Frankenberg died Monday in Hillington, England, of complications from a stroke, said Seymour's publicist, Dick Guttman.
Seymour said her mother was born in Holland and lived in Indonesia during World War II, where she spent more than three years in a Japanese concentration camp. After that, she moved to England, married a doctor named John Frankenberg and had three daughters. Her husband died in 1990.
Seymour, a contestant on "Dancing With the Stars," () said she wouldn't attend Tuesday night's results show as she planned to travel to England.
"She was ageless and had the spirit of a lively, effervescent, enthusiastic 21-year-old and only her body let her down," the 56-year-old actress said in a statement.
"She had been through it all, seen horrors up close and chose to see the light and love of God and mankind in every aspect of life," Seymour said.
Seymour starred in the TV series "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" and dozens of other TV movies and shows.
