Her breakthrough came just three years later when she appeared in several notable films, including the iconic Bullitt (1968) alongside Steve McQueen. This role not only cemented her status as a rising star but also allowed her to witness some of cinema’s most legendary driving sequences firsthand.
Throughout her career, Jacqueline has earned numerous accolades, including four Golden Globe nominations and an Emmy Award nomination. Beyond Hollywood, she has worked extensively in French cinema, earning recognition for her performance in La cérémonie (1995), which earned her a César Award nomination.
