Jacqueline Bisset | 77 years old

Jacqueline Bisset rose to prominence, to some degree, in the 1970s following her appearances in films such as Bullitt, Airport, and The Greek Tycoon. Her official film debut came in Cul-de-sac, but she is best known for her appearance in the James Bond film Casino Royale. Few of these roles allowed her to convey something other than slow-burning feminism. However, it was the movies like Day for Night, Rich and Famous, and Under the Volcano that gradually exposed her talent for insightful, complex performances.

As the new millennium unfolds, Bisset remains successful and in demand, portraying everything from stalwart mothers to seductive socialites. She appeared in an episode of the hit television series Nip/Tuck in 2003 as well as in movies Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Summer Solstice, and the action film Domino. Her astonishing beauty remained constant throughout her four-decade career, ensuring her iconic status as one of cinema’s outstanding foreign royalties.
