Jacqueline Bisset, acclaimed as the most stunning woman by Time magazine, captivated my parents when I was young, becoming a lasting role model. Known for her striking green eyes and restrained use of makeup, Bisset’s diverse career includes portraying Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Anna Karenina, and Miss Goodthighs in Casino Royale.
In her debut film, Cul-de-Sac (1966), she showcased her talent, earning a Golden Globe nomination for The Sweet Ride (1968). Trilingual and honored with France’s Legion of Honor, Bisset received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Sedona International Film Festival in 2023.
Despite rumors linking her romantically to Frank Sinatra and Steve McQueen, Bisset, a sophisticated Englishwoman, dismissed the claims, citing cultural differences. Unmarried, she values independence, having had long-term relationships but eschewing marriage.
Winning a Golden Globe for Dancing on the Edge, Bisset, at 69, remains a celebrated actress. She is Angelina Jolie’s godmother, known for her impactful roles and unwavering beauty. Bisset’s Golden Globes speech emphasized forgiveness as the key to enduring beauty, rejecting the idea of plastic surgery.
An artist, woman, and role model, Jacqueline Bisset’s grace, honesty, and talent make her a timeless favorite.
