JACQUELINE BISSET

Jacqueline Bisset rose to fame in the 1970s as the ideal beauty for several top actors while appearing in films like Bullitt and The Detective.

She received the Légion d’honneur in 2010 and earned nominations for Golden Globe and Emmy Awards for her appearances.

Since the mid-1980s, Bisset has starred in many made-for-TV films. Her TV credits include Jesus and At the Beginning, as well as the miniseries Joan of Arc. Unlike other celebrities her age, Bisset remained successful and in demand, portraying everything from fearless mothers to socialites. Her astonishing beauty held steady throughout her four-decade career, retaining her iconic status as one of cinema’s great foreign beauties.
