UPDATED 10/6/2023 When you take a moment to look back over the career of actress Jaqueline Bisset, what's more impressive than anything else is that she has been able to work consistently since her debut as an extra in 1965's The Knack ... and How to Get It. For example, in 2021 she was in the film Birds of Paradise, followed in 2022 by Loren & Rose and then, in 2023, Last Dollar. There are few actresses who can claim that they're still making movies nearly years after their debut. "I'm extremely able to survive," she understated to The Modesto Bee in 1987. "If I put my head to it, I'm a survivor. Sometimes, though, this requires effort and a period of withdrawal. I can get very down for a while when I'm feeling low in energy and a bit sorry for myself. When this happens, when a fallow time sets in, I don't fight it. Instead, I surrender to it and sort of retire within myself. A degree of silence, a degree of accepting who you are and where you're at, helps you cure yourself." Well, whatever it is, it's obviously working. RELATED: 50 Fabulous Stars from the 70s Then and Now 2020 From early on, Jacqueline has been in the position of working with some of Hollywood's biggest heavyweights, like Steve McQueen in Bullitt, Frank Sinatra in The Detective, and Dean Martin in Airport — and that has never stopped. This is even more ironic when you consider that acting is not something she was originally all that interested in. Her Road to Acting (Everett Collection) She was born Jacqueline Fraser Bisset on September 13, 1944, in Weybridge, Surrey, England. Her father was a doctor and her mother a lawyer who decided to become a housewife, and she has a brother named Max who is two years older than her. (Everett Collection) In a 1968 profile, The Vancouver Sun said of her, "Jacqueline Bisset had no urgent ambition to act, no dream of stardom, no dramatic training. She slipped into it because, not wanting to live off her doctor father for another year, she took the train to London and began modeling to pay the rent. Modeling bored her, but an extra's part in The Knack led her to a tiny role in Cul-De-Sac and, more important, locations on Holy Island, a tiny dot in the North Sea suited to Polish director Roman Polanski's Gothic soul, where there was nothing to do but talk and drink the exotic local mead. 'The whole experience was very exciting and made me want to go on.'" Jacqueline in The Deep (Everett Collection) Speaking to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in 1982, she shared a bit more about her feelings regarding acting: "I was a bit of a loner, I suppose. I read a lot. I was never any good in the school theatrical productions. I always got a role like the March Hare. A Latin teacher told me I might make a good actress and that stuck in my memory. I went off to London and did some modeling and Polanski gave me that small part. I went to America and that's where I had a chance to learn how to act, how to behave around a sound stage. At first I was always cast as the girlfriend. It was a long time before I got to play characters who were people."

Jacqueline Bisset (2020) (Photo by: SMXRF/starmaxinc.com) A Bit More from Jacqueline (AdMedia) Obviously, Jacqueline has an amazingly long and diversified career. In her private life she has never married, but has had significant relationships with actor Michael Sarrazin (The Reincarnation of Peter Proud, They Shoot Horses, Don't They?) from 1967 to 1973; nightclub owner and film producer Victor Drai from 1975 to 1980; Russian-American ballet dancer and actor Alexander Godunov from 1981 to 1988; actor and director Vincent Perez from 1988 to 1992; and Emin Boztepe from 1994 to 2005, and again from 2007 to 2008. (AdMedia) "Acting has never been all-consuming for me. If I'm doing something I want to, I do it at 100 percent. But once it's over, it's over. As for my private life, it has always been private," she told The Montgomery Advertiser in 1977. "I keep it separate from my career. I don't really socialize with actors; I only see them from time to time. Don't misunderstand me, I like them very much, but I do have my own life; one that's very different. I think people have preconceptions of you. Jacqueline Bisset circa 1970 (Everett Collection) "One general preconception is that if you are pretty, you don’t have a brain in your head and that you’re taking life for granted, which I’ve never done," she added. "And I’ve certainly had to think for myself a lot. And fight for myself. So possibly I’m a little aggressive sometimes. With a man, I like to feel that if I’m out somewhere and in danger, I will be protected. I think women need that. They want to feel that the guy can look after them. Apart from that, I think a sense of humor’s terribly important. I don’t see life being a drag. Men, to me, have to be fun. I also think a feeling of danger about somebody is interesting for a woman. The unexpected. A slight twinkle in the entices – where will it take you? Adventure.”
