Showbiz411's Roger Friedman reports that Jacqueline Bisset will star in the upcoming biopic of France's Dominique Strauss Kahn. The actress joins previously announced cast member Gerard Depardieu on the project titled MRS. DSK.
Bisset will be replacing originally cast actress Isabelle Adjani in the role of 'Anne Sinclair', the wealthy French journalist who was married to Strauss Kahn at the time he was arrested and detained for raping a maid in New York City.
The story created international headlines and is believed to have led to the demise of DSK's political career. It also illicited other allegations and accusations over the ensuing years. Although Sinclair originally supported her husband and helped finance his defense, she left him upon returning to France.
Bisset has been nominated for four Golden Globe Awards and an Emmy Award. She is known for her roles in the films Casino Royale (1967), Bullitt (1968), Airport (1970), The Deep (1977), Class (1983), and the TV series Nip/Tuck (2006). She has also appeared in several French productions and was nominated for a César Award for La Cérémonie (1995). She was awarded the Légion d'honneur in 2010.
