Jacqueline Bisset has been an international film star since the late 1960s. She received her first roles mainly because of her stunning beauty, but over time she has become a fine actress respected by fans and critics alike. Bisset has worked with directors John Huston, François Truffaut, George Cukor and Roman Polanski. Her co-stars have included Anthony Quinn, Paul Newman, Nick Nolte, Charles Bronson and Marcello Mastroianni. Her somewhat French-sounding name has led some to assume that she is from France, but she was born and brought up in England, and had to study to learn French. Her mother, Arlette Alexander, was of English and French descent, and was an attorney before being married. Her father, Max Fraser Bisset, was a Scottish-born doctor. As a child, Jacqueline studied ballet. During her teenage years her father left the family when her mother was diagnosed with disseminating sclerosis; Jacqueline worked as a model to support her ailing mother and eventually her parents divorced, an experience she has said she considered character-strengthening. She took an early interest in film, her modeling career helped pay for acting lessons. In 1967 Bisset gained her first critical attention in Two for the Road (1967), and in that same year appeared in the widely panned James Bond spoof Casino Royale (1967), playing Miss Goodthighs. In 1968 her career got a boost when Mia Farrow unexpectedly dropped out of the shooting of The Detective (1968); Farrow's marriage to co-star Frank Sinatra was on the rocks, and her role was eventually given to Bisset, who received special billing in the film's credits. In the following year she played opposite Steve McQueen in the popular action film Bullitt (1968). That same year, she co-starred in the popular film The Sweet Ride (1968) with French-Canadian actor Michael Sarrazin, with whom she became romantically involved for several years. Her career took off in the 1970's. In 1970, she co-starred in the ensemble disaster film Airport (1970) as a stewardess and the film was one of the biggest box office hits of the year. That same year, she was nominated for a Laurel Award for her starring role in the independent film The Grasshopper (1970). In 1971, she won a starring role with Alan Alda in the horror film The Mephisto Waltz (1971), but it was a critical and box office failure. More successful was her supporting role in the John Huston western The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean (1972), starring Paul Newman in the title role. In 1973 she became recognized in Europe as a serious actress when she played the lead in Truffaut's Day for Night (1973). However, it would be several years before her talents would be taken seriously in the US. She co-starred in the star-studded film adaptation of the Agatha Christie mystery Murder on the Orient Express (1974), but while the film was a huge success, her role was a small one. She had a starring role in the murder mystery _The Spiral Staircase_, but the film was a disappointment, with everyone comparing it unfavorably with the original _The Spiral Staircase_, which starred Dorothy McGuire. She co-starred in the Charles Bronson crime drama St. Ives (1976), but the film was dismissed by most. Jacqueline's stunning looks and figure made quite a splash in The Deep (1977). Her underwater swimming scenes in that movie inspired the worldwide wet T-shirt craze, and Newsweek magazine declared her "the most beautiful film actress of all time". The film's producer, Peter Guber, said "That T-shirt made me a rich man." However, Bisset hated the wet T-shirt scenes because she felt exploited. At the time of filming she was not told that the filmmakers would shoot the scenes in such a provocative way, and she felt tricked. Many Americans began to recognize Bisset as a serious actress in her performance in the late 1970's. Her starring role in the drama _The Greek Tycoon_, a thinly disguised fictionalization of the marriage of 'Jacqueline Kennedy' and Aristotle Onassis, was a box office success in spite of critical condemnation. She then earned a Golden Globe nomination for her role in Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? (1978). In the early 1980's, she had supporting roles in the box office disasters When Time Ran Out... (1980) and Inchon (1981), which she only did for the money, but no one blamed her for their failures. The films Rich and Famous (1981), and Class (1983) also failed, but she rebounded neatly when she earned another Golden Globe nomination for her role in Under the Volcano (1984). She also earned praise and success for her starring role in the independent film High Season (1987) In 1996, she was nominated for a César Award, the French equivalent of the Oscar, for her role in La Cérémonie (1995). Bisset has never married, but has been involved in several long-term romantic relationships. She continues to make numerous films, and frequently participates in film festivals and award ceremonies around the world. SKU: LCF02827
