No I chose the name Jane Seymour because I was doing my first film 'Ode to Lovely War ' and one of the top agents in England spotted me dancing in the chorus. I was a singer and dancer in that movie with Maggie Smith um and he told me he couldn't sell me as Joyce Penelope Willomena Frankenburger.

History sociology economics psychology et al. confirmed Joyce's view of Everyman as victim.

I felt Joyce was an influence on my fiction but in a very general way as a kind of inspiration and a model for the beauty of language.
