How Foreign-Born Actress Jacqueline Bisset Made it in Hollywood

In 2005, she filmed scenes for Mr. & Mrs. Smith, the hit action film starring Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Her involvement was especially interesting because of her real-life connection to Jolie as her godmother, which could have added a personal echo to the project.

However, Bisset’s role, along with Terence Stamp’s, was ultimately cut and recast. The film became famous for other reasons, especially Jolie and Pitt’s relationship, while Bisset’s unseen participation became one of those curious footnotes in a long Hollywood career.
