Jane Seymour (Dr. Michaela Quinn) and her costars — Joe Lando (Byron Sully), William Shockley (Hank Lawson), Chad Allen (Matthew Cooper), Shawn Toovey (Brian Cooper), Alley Mills (Marjorie Quinn), Frank Collison (Horace Bing), Henry Sanders (Robert E.), Jessica Bowman (Colleen Cooper), Jonelle Allen (Grace), and Jason Adams (Preston Lodge) — reminisced about their time on the show during a recent Zoom meeting, which was shared with Entertainment Weekly.
Among the memories shared was one of Johnny Cash, who appeared as Kid Cole. “I recall it was around 3 or 4 a.m. and we were filming in a tiny shed up there with a pig sty.
June was seated with me and the rest of us in the pig sty. She was eating her meal from Meissen China with George and silver.
And she said, ‘Honey, I’m just too old, affluent, and famous to be doing this.'” Seymour, 69, talked about Johnny’s wife, June Cash. “And I said, ‘Sadly, I’m not.'”
“She asked, ‘How do we speed this up?’ And then Johnny glanced at us, grabbed his pretend guitar, went into the set, and began serenading the crew,” she recalled of the late artist. “And they went really silent.
And they got that stuff fixed quickly, and they got a free concert from Johnny Cash. True fact,” Seymour remarked of Johnny, who featured in four episodes between 1993 and 1997, according to IMDb.
Beth Sullivan created the series, which aired for six seasons from 1993 to 1998. It featured a doctor (Seymour) who arrived to Colorado Springs in the 1860s to establish her medical practice.
