Jacqueline Bisset: Timeless and Talented
With a 58-year career and nearly 50 films, Jacqueline Bisset, now 80, remains a captivating force in cinema. Born on September 13, 1944, in Surrey, England, she grew up with a love for the arts, which led her to acting.
Known for her natural beauty and minimal makeup, Bisset rose to fame with roles in Casino Royale (1967), Bullitt (1968), and The Sweet Ride (1968), earning a Golden Globe nomination. She later starred in Murder on the Orient Express (1974), The Deep (1977), Wild Orchid (1990), and won a Golden Globe for Dancing on the Edge (2013). More recent roles include The Lodger (2020) and Loren & Rose (2022).
Despite her glamorous image and romances with men like Steve McQueen and Michael Sarrazin, Bisset never married. She once said, “I don’t choose easy men,” and values her independence too much for anything permanent.
She’s been honored with France’s Legion of Honor (2010) and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Sedona Film Festival (2023). Known for aging gracefully, Bisset avoids plastic surgery and believes forgiveness is the best beauty treatment.
A role model to many, Bisset remains a symbol of old Hollywood elegance and enduring talent.
