During the 1970s she appeared in François Truffaut’s Day for Night, Murder on the Orient Express and The Deep.
Last month she joined Jane Seymour, 63, on U.S. TV where they both agree they would not succumb to the surgeon’s scalpel.
In the past, Miss Seymour has admitted to minor eye surgery, breast augmentation and trying Botox just once, but she said these days she prefers the natural look.
Miss Seymour told The Today Show: ‘I made a choice a while ago that I wanted to age gracefully. I stay away from Botox and all these things because [as an actress] I need my wrinkles.
‘If I smile, I look younger. Smiling is the answer. Everything lifts when you do that.’
Her views were echoed by the glamorous Miss Bisset.
During her speech at the Golden Globes she said: ‘I believe, if you want to look good, you’ve got to forgive everybody. It’s the best beauty treatment.’
And on TV she said she had ‘lots of complexes’ about her looks in her youth but she was still not tempted to go under the knife. ‘I don’t think it makes you look younger,’ she said. ‘It makes you different.’
