Jenny Seagrove in The Betrothed


In 1989, Jenny Seagrove appeared in an Italian miniseries which was an adaptation of the oft-filmed novel The Betrothed (I promessi sposi). The project attracted a number of internationally famous actors including Burt Lancaster, Franco Nero, F. Murray Abraham, Helmut Berger, Fernando Rey and others, plus a musical score from Ennio Morricone.

This Italian-language television mini-series is fairly obscure, especially to Seagrove fans, and English subtitles don't seem to exist. However, there's always hope that something like this will be made available for viewers worldwide to enjoy.

Here is a promotional image of Jenny Seagrove in her nun costume for The Betrothed:

Here is a fantastic image of Jenny Seagrove and Daniel Gerroll, one of her co-stars from the 1982 television miniseries The Woman in White.



Jenny Seagrove and Dirk Benedict

One of the first things we took a look at on these pages was Jenny Seagrove's 1984 guest appearance on an episode of Hammer House of Mystery and Suspense (retitled Fox Mystery Theater for the American market). Well, as a nice supplement to that post, here is a great pair of promotional photographs of Jenny Seagrove and her co-star Dirk Benedict:

Two promo pics from A Chorus of Disapproval


Here are 2 great promotional stills from Jenny Seagrove's 1988 film A Chorus of Disapproval. In the first image she is pictured with star Jeremy Irons and in the second with Jeremy Irons and Prunella Scales.




Promo pics of Jenny Seagrove for Deadly Game


In 1991, Jenny Seagrove co-starred alongside Roddy McDowall and Michael Beck in Deadly Game. The movie originally aired on the USA cable TV network in the summer of 1991 and also featured a host of other B-list actors including Mitch Ryan, Marc Singer, Soon-Tek Oh, Frederic Lehne and John Pleshette. Jenny Seagrove actually plays a major role in the campy thriller and it marked her final appearance on American television.

Promotional images of Jenny Seagrove for In Like Flynn

In 1985, Jenny Seagrove starred in In Like Flynn. The TV movie was a pilot for a proposed series, loosely based on the film Romancing the Stone. The project did not end up getting made into a weekly TV show but the pilot film still exists and stands a fine piece of campy mid-'80s entertainment.


Jenny Seagrove as Terri McLane in In Like Flynn


Besides star Jenny Seagrove, In Like Flynn also featured a number of other semi-well known actors. The biggest name in the film would obviously be William Conrad, who was well known for his work on television. Veteran actors Eddie Albert, Robert Webber and Maury Chaykin also had roles in the project. Jenny Seagrove's 'leading man' was played by William Gray Espy, an actor who had only worked occasionally beginning in 1972. He gives a capable performance in In Like Flynn but one feels that perhaps his role could have been better cast.



Here are two photos of Jenny Seagrove and her co-star William Gray Espy in In Like Flynn:

Promotional images of Jenny Seagrove for The Sign of Four

Jenny Seagrove, looking lovely as ever, portrayed Miss Mary Morstan in a 1987 UK television adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Sign of Four. Jeremy Brett plays Sherlock Holmes and Edward Hardwicke plays Dr. Watson, both to great effect. The fantastic Ronald Lacey is also featured, as well as British television veteran John Thaw.


The following are a pair of publicity stills for The Sign of Four:

Jenny Seagrove - pin-up girl?



This is a somewhat uncharacteristic photo of Jenny Seagrove. It looks a bit like a pin-up style image, hands above the hips and decked out in very fashionable late-'80s clothing. Very nice indeed!

Jenny Seagrove and Hayley Mills onstage

Here's a photo of Jenny Seagrove and Hayley Mills performing onstage in a play (I'm unsure of the title). You might recall that the pair also appeared in the 1988 mystery film Appointment with Death.

Jenny Seagrove in Savage Islands

In 1983, Jenny Seagrove had her first big feature film role in a movie called Nate and Hayes. In the UK, the movie was given the infinitely better title of Savage Islands. Regardless of what you call it, one thing is certain: Jenny Seagrove was absolutely lovely in the film. Click here for some other photos and information. Meanwhile, here are two great photos from the movie:

More images of Jenny Seagrove in The Guardian



In 1990, Jenny Seagrove starred in The Guardian, a horror film directed by William Friedkin. The movie, which co-starred Dwier Brown and Carey Lowell, was another opportunity fpr Jenny Seagrove to establish herself as an American cinema star. The Guardian, however, was not a big hit at the time of it's release and Jenny Seagrove would never again reach for such large scale success in a feature film. The good news is that The Guardian has become a bit of cult classic in recent years, the internet playing a big part in making this possible (as has been the case for many such films that were not well received when they were originally released). Truthfully, it is certainly not the best movie ever, or even of it's type, but nonetheless it is certainly not a bad film either. The Guardian is actually quite fun and enjoyable, especially for those willing to watch it with an open mind and a positive attitude.
