From 1993 to 1998, Jane Seymour and Joe Lando Dr. Quinn, female pharmacistthe beloved CBS Western. The spark was obvious — they dated briefly while filming the pilot — but the two soon realized they should be lifelong friends, and have remained so for years, through thick and thin. In 2022, the movie "One Life" will reunite Christmas sparklesbecoming one of the network's highest-rated holiday movies.

Lando, 63, lives with his wife, three children and daughter-in-law, two dogs (a German shepherd named Bo and a border collie named Rosie) and two parakeets Home in Pacific Palisades. Like Lando, Seymour, 73, who lives not far from Malibu, was evacuated because of the fire. She was adopted by a family friend in Calabasas with whom she happened to have an ex-husband. “We raised our kids together,” she said. "We've been friends from the beginning, and people never believe it, but it's true."

Thankfully, her home still exists. Lando's, however, no longer exists. A typically private man, he took to Instagram to share his sadness and loss over the house he had cared for over the years. Lando is now dealing with the trauma of losing everything while trying to navigate the red tape of filing FEMA and insurance reports. Seymour and her musician boyfriend John Zambetti welcomed Lando's family and zoo into their home.

"Everybody's doing a great job," Lando said of his boys. "The dogs seemed a bit confused about what was going on. We haven't had a chance to take them back to our house and let them know there's no more house to go back to. But I think they need to learn about this place because they'll be waiting to go back."

Seymour interviewed hollywood reporter About the experience of helping the Landoss when they needed it most.

While Joe and I have always been close, we are obviously very close now. We live together, we cook together, we commiserate together. When this happened, I immediately said, "Joe, come here." And they did. He has a large family - four children, one of whom has a wife, two dogs, two budgies and he and his wife. But I know they are comfortable here. They have been here many times and know the house very well.

Joe has always been - just like the character he plays on the show Dr. Quinn — running around saying, "I can fix this. This needs to be fixed, Jane. I can do this." That's who he is and where he comes from. A long time ago, he used to be a chef. He had a small camping propane gas stove. We currently have no gas in our home. So he built a small kitchen outside.

Through it all, we have realized how much we love each other and how we always come together for each other. They are always there for me. I know what it's like to leave home countless times and think, "Okay, this is it. We've lost everything." and have to throw whatever random items I can find into a bag at the last minute. Now I have everything and they have nothing. They carry clothes on their backs. They thought they might be gone for a day or two.

The generosity of people has been incredible – everyone I know is giving away clothes and buying stuff. My housekeeper just went and bought a shirt for Joe and a track suit for (his wife) Kirsten. The least amount of people I know immediately come up with something that puts a smile on their face. And this isn't just casual clothing. She bought it knowing specifically what would suit them, what would fit, and what they wanted. Joe just started crying. My partner John is allergic to dogs but we have become a dog complex. They came straight towards him.

But it’s been an amazing lift – how close we all are and how grateful we are to be able to help each other. His family has always been there to help me. There is tremendous love between our families.

Joe and I met in Dr. Quinn, female pharmacistthat was 34 years ago. When we did the pilot, we were together (romantically) very briefly, then broke up, and then they picked up the show from us. There were times when things were difficult, but we always maintained a bond. After the show, we became very, very close friends again. I feel the same way about his wife Kirsten and his kids. My home is always open to their families, no matter what disaster happens. Our children all grew up together. His kids are a little younger than mine, but I think his kids definitely grew up wearing a lot of my son's clothes.

I'm about to start working on my autobiography. I'm looking at my collection and there's just mountains of memorabilia Dr. Quinn And everything before. I have them all here. I kept thinking, "What am I going to do with all of this?" Finding these photos and looking at these old letters that people had written, I wrote about how I felt when I was going through big things in my life. I just looked at it all and thought, "This is what you lose." But what you don't lose is your memory and your feelings for other people.

With the ongoing crises in the world, sometimes when something catastrophic like this happens, you start to see who the real people are and what they find they can do even though they themselves are suffering. It gives me hope for the world because at the end of the day we are basically humans on this tiny speck in the universe.

My mom, she spent three and a half years in a Japanese concentration camp in Indonesia (during World War II), but she can't talk about it. She puts away the bad stuff, categorizes it, and doesn’t talk about it anymore. But now, gosh, my house is packed with people all the time. We used to call them "roads and wanderers," but our homes don't have to have fire to be the center of everything we can share. This is normal in my family.

I always thought my mom was right. She says, "The way to heal is to open up and reach out and help others. If you have purpose, you can love yourself and you can move forward in life." You don't have to look far to find someone who is worse off than you are. people.
