Jane Seymour offers Lando refuge
During this difficult time, Lando found support from his longtime friend and former co-star Jane Seymour (73). "My friend Jane Seymour allowed us to come over to her house and opened it up for us without any hesitation and thank God [she] gave us someplace to come and sleep," Lando shared in the video.
However, despite this refuge, the challenges are far from over. The fires have also affected Seymour’s neighborhood, and the Lando family is now living without electricity, gas, or drinkable water.
