Jacqueline Bisset

Biography

Jacqueline Bisset is a British actress who has worked steadily in film and television since the 1960s. After an uncredited appearance in The Knack ...and How to Get It, she made her formal debut in Cul-de-sac. Born in Weybridge, Surrey, she gained wider notice in 1968 with The Detective and Bullitt, and her part in The Sweet Ride earned a Golden Globe nomination for Most Promising Newcomer. In the 1970s she appeared in Airport, Murder on the Orient Express, and François Truffaut's Day for Night, which took the Oscar for best foreign-language film. Her performance in the comedy Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? brought another Golden Globe nomination, and The Deep made her widely known. Later credits include the Golden Globe-nominated Under the Volcano, Dangerous Beauty, Domino, and Miss You Already. For the BBC series Dancing on the Edge she won a Golden Globe. She received France's Legion of Honor in 2010.
