My Take
Jacqueline Bisset is one of those rare actors who somehow managed to be both a genuine screen icon and a deeply respected performer at the same time — not an easy trick. Born in England but claimed by Hollywood, she announced herself in 1968 with a stunning triple: The Detective, Bullitt, and The Sweet Ride, earning a Golden Globe nod for Most Promising Newcomer before she'd even hit her stride. She went on to headline films like Day for Night and Under the Volcano, and age has only seemed to deepen her presence — her 2014 Golden Globe win for the TV miniseries Dancing on the Edge was long overdue recognition. Add a Knight of the Legion of Honour to her name, and you've got a career that's as elegant and durable as she is.
