“I wanted to play [Rose]. I wanted the uneven parts. I wanted the faults of this person… I was very excited to play this woman and I felt sorry for her. She had some rough times and I can really relate to some of it,...

There’s no doubt that Jacqueline Bisset is a screen icon, but do we really need yet another meta commentary on the pitfalls of Hollywood with a lauded star as its only anchor? Bisset stars in “Loren and Rose,” written and directed by Russell Brown, and hitting select theaters after an extended tour of regional American film festivals. The drama follows aging starlet Rose (Bisset) who is looking to revive her career and takes multiple meetings with up-and-coming filmmaker Loren (Kelly Blatz) as he is casting his big break feature.
Within a few minutes of extreme exposition, Loren narrates that Rose’s most iconic role was playing a white nun who falls in love with a Black priest. Yet, Rose is best known to the public for playing the lead in pulpy sci-fi franchise “Mega Gators Mom.” Rose’s celebrity status, no matter which film of hers you love best,...

Jacqueline Bisset is an aging actress playing an aging actress in the feature “Loren and Rose,” which takes place almost entirely in a restaurant: her character meets with a young director (played by Kelly Blatz) who wants her for his next film. At 78, Bisset understands that festivals are necessary to promote films, even if she’s not here in New York, but back home in California. She is candid about the marketing of a film, acting and even an embarrassing look back at one of her biggest hits. No, it doesn’t involve a wet t-shirt or a car chase in the streets of San Francisco. The “silly girl” was a stewardess in love with Dean Martin. More on that in a moment. We begin with the conceit of “Loren and Rose”: acting as a reflection of real life.
