After a number of films during the late sixties and early seventies which included "Casino Royale", "The Detective", and "Day for Night", Jacqueline Bisset had developed a reputation as a series actress in Europe. She became well known in America in 1977, when the movie "The Deep" became phenomenally successful largely thanks to Jacqueline Bisset's appearance in an underwater swimming sequence while wearing a t-shirt. Newsweek called Jacqueline Bisset the most beautiful actress of all time from that appearance, and she became a household name.
Since then, Jacqueline Bisset has appeared in many well received movies for theatrical and televised release such as "Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?", "Rich and Famous", "Under the Volcano", "La Ceremonie", and "America's Prince: The John F. Kennedy Jr. Story".
