Born Carolyn von Benckendorf in Buckinghamshire, England to a Russian father and an Irish mother, one of Seymour's earliest television roles was Jenny in the BBC drama series Take Three Girls. In 1972, she appeared as Zita in the film Steptoe and Son alongside Harry H. Corbett and Wilfrid Brambell. Her best-known movie role remains Grace Gurney in The Ruling Class in 1972, opposite Peter O'Toole in his Oscar nominated performance.
She left Survivors at the end of its first series, due to disagreements with the producers over the direction the show and her character was taking.

She then moved to the U.S. and made numerous television appearances including Hart to Hart, Modesty Blaise, Family Ties, Cagney & Lacey, Remington Steele, Magnum, P.I., The Twilight Zone, Murder She Wrote, Matlock, Quantum Leap, the Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes "Contagion", "First Contact", "Face of the Enemy", Civil Wars, L.A.
