Jacqueline Bisset

Bisset, who is known as a good autograph signer who even personalises her signature if fans ask her to, has never been married, but she has had a number of well publicized relationships with men. She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1719 Vine Street. The movie, a biographical story about Robert Kennedy, will be released shortly. She returned to the stage in the 1950s, and was found dead of a heart attack after failing to show up for a performance. A role she has become familiar with, first in TV and most recently in cinema movies, is the character of Jacqueline Kennedy. In the following year, she starred in the televison version of The Egg and I. Besides in movies, Bisset has played in many TV films, especially during the last 10 years, some of these films having been quite successful. Carroll retired from films in 1938, but starred in the early television series The Aldrich Family in 1950.

Several of her movies are French or Italian productions. In 1930 she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for The Devil's Holiday. During her career, Bisset has been in movies directed by such stars as François Truffaut, John Huston, George Cukor and Roman Polanski, among others. One of them, Easy Come, Easy Go, made her a star. In 1996, she was nominated for a Cesar Award, France's version of the Oscars, for her role in La Ceremonie. In 1928 she made eight films. In 1978 she had already earned her first nomination for Who is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?. Born Ann Veronica LaHiff in New York City, she began her acting career in Broadway musicals, but was a successful talkies actress because her musical background enabled her to play in the movie musicals of the 1930s. Although she made her film debut in 1918 at the age of 14, her second film wasn't until Ladies Must Dress in 1927.

Soon thereafter she played in the movies Rich and Famous with Candice Bergen, and Under The Volcano with Albert Finney, which was made in 1984 and gave her a Golden Globe award nomination. Nancy Carroll (November 19, 1903 - August 6, 1965) was an American actress. At the time, Newsweek magazine declared her to be "the most beautiful film actress of all time". In 1977, Bisset made great strides towards becoming a better known entertainer in North America with her movie The Deep, co-starring Robert Shaw, where her appearance swimming underwater wearing only a t-shirt made many to credit her with beginning a world wide revolution that led to a "wet T-shirt contest craze". In 1973, she participated in Francois Truffaut's movie Day for Night, where she earned the respect of European critics and movie goers as a serious actress.

Then, she was cast opposite Steve McQueen in Bullit. In 1968, Mia Farrow, who was having personal problems, dropped out of a movie named The Detective, and her job was given to Bisset instead. Next, she participated in the James Bond spoof Casino Royale, playing the character of "Miss Goodthighs". After playing in a few small roles, in 1967 Bisset was cast for the movie Two for the Road, which became a critically acclaimed effort for her.

She had taken ballet lessons as a young child, and now began taking acting lessons, and fashion modelling to pay for those lessons. After her parents divorced, she moved in to help her mother. When Bisset was a teenager, her mother was diagnosed with disseminating sclerosis. Her French mother taught her fluent French which prompted many to erroneously believe she was born in France.
