To coincide with the release of ''[[The Deep (1977 film)|The Deep]]'', ''[[Newsweek]]'' voted her "the most beautiful film actress of all time".<ref>{{cite book|first=Robyn|last=Karney|title=The Movie Stars Story|year=1984|publisher=Crescent Books|isbn=0517437368|page=256}}</ref> In 1989, the year she headlined [[Paul Bartel]]'s risqué comedy ''[[Scenes from the Class Struggle in Beverly Hills]]'', the [[New York Daily News]] published an article about her titled "Bad Girl Bisset".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/406574666|last=Chanko|first=Kenneth M.|date=11 June 1989|title=Bad Girl Bisset|work=New York Daily News}}</ref> In 2010, Bisset began appearing in broadcast and print advertisements for [[Avon Products|Avon]]'s Anew Platinum line of skin care.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.happi.com/contents/view_breaking-news/2010-10-01/avon-picks-jacqueline-bisset-for-anew-platinu|date=1 October 2010|title=Avon Picks Jacqueline Bisset For Anew Platinum Line|work=HAPPI}}</ref>

Bisset is referenced in the song "Clifton in the Rain" from the album ''[[Bed-Sitter Images]]'', by [[Al Stewart]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rOR8VFMKiY|title=Al Stewart − Clifton in the Rain|date=14 September 2014 |via=YouTube}}</ref> She was also mentioned in the episode "Bar Bet" of NBC's ''[[Cheers]]'', as well as two cable television programmes starring [[Garry Shandling]]: ''[[It's Garry Shandling's Show]]'' and ''[[The Larry Sanders Show]]''.

''[[Forbes]]'' pointed out that, despite her status as a heterosexual [[sex symbol]], Bisset incidentally has acquired a loyal gay fanbase, which the actress herself was unaware of for many years.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/simonthompson/2023/06/23/jacqueline-bisset-continues-to-embrace-humility-style-and-substance-in-hollywood-with-loran-and-rose|last=Thompson|first=Simon|date=23 June 2023|title=Jacqueline Bisset Continues To Embrace Humility, Style And Substance In Hollywood With 'Loren And Rose'|work=Forbes}}</ref> Its origin goes back to as early as 1968, when she played the widow of a bisexual suicide in ''[[The Detective (1968 film)|The Detective]]''. Several of her subsequent films have featured LGBT characters, from ''[[The Grasshopper (1970 film)|The Grasshopper]]'' through ''Loren & Rose'', with Bisset even playing one herself on ''[[Nip/Tuck]]''.

In February 2025, Bisset told ''[[Page Six]]'', “[I'm] very unsympathetic to these stories, these [[MeToo movement|#MeToo]] things,” referring to women who came forward during the movement to report sexual abuse and sexual harassment in the workplace, particularly in Hollywood.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://pagesix.com/2025/02/01/celebrity-news/jacqueline-bisset-admits-shes-unsympathetic-to-metoo-stories/ | title=Exclusive &#124; Jacqueline Bisset admits she's 'unsympathetic' to #MeToo stories | date=February 2025 }}</ref>
