Jane Seymouris back playing Solitaire — the card game, not her character from the 1973James BondmovieLive and Let Die.
But while promoting her partnership with the free-to-play appSolitaire Grand Harvest, in which users can try their hand at the fan-favorite game in an animated farm setting, the 71-year-old reveals that she’d be happy to reprise her role in the iconic film series.
“Of course, I’d do it,” Seymour tells PEOPLE exclusively. “I’ve always been very open about saying that I’d be happy to just walk behind the scene and someone could go, ‘Is that Solitaire?’ "
The actress was new to the industry when she played the Bond Girl character in the franchise’s eighth flick back in 1973.
Also known as Simone Latrelle, Solitaire was a voodoo psychic medium and associate of Bond foe Dr. Kananga (Yaphet Kotto). The high-profile role helped launch Seymour into the spotlight quickly.
