This attractive blonde player made the transition from model to actress. Bissett began with bit parts on TV which eventually led to a two-year stint on the sitcom “The Hogan Family” as Cara. She is perhaps best known as Jane Mancini on the primetime soap “Melrose Place” (Fox, 1992-96). Over the course of her run on the show, her character went from naive housewife to fashion mogul and, despite the over-the-top plot lines, Bissett managed to imbue Jane with spunk. Her film credits include “Book of Love” (1990), Oliver Stone’s “The Doors” (1991) and Anson Williams’ “All-American Murder” (1992). After a two-year absence, she returned to the role of Jane Mancini on “Melrose Place” in 1998.
