Julie Christie (born April 14, 1941) is a
British actress, winner of an Academy Award for Best Actress for her
role in the 1965 film, Darling.
Ms. Christie was born in Chabua, Assam,
India to Rosemary Ramsden and Frank St. John Christie (an operator of an
Indian-based tea plantation). She studied at the Central School of
Speech and Drama before getting her big break in 1961 in a science
fiction series on BBC television, entitled A for Andromeda. The full
recordings have now been lost, although a section of material from the
final episode, featuring Christie, does survive.
Her first major film role was opposite Tom
Courtenay in Billy Liar (1963). She played Lara in Doctor Zhivago (1965)
and Bathsheba in Far from the Madding Crowd (1967). Christie was a
leading figure in the glamorous London of the 1960s, and continues to
make movies including those in the French language with Sophie Marceau
in 2001's Belphégor - Le fantôme du Louvre.
During the 1970s she moved to Hollywood and
over several years had a high profile relationship with Warren Beatty
though following the end of the relationship she returned to Europe. Her
long-time partner is Guardian journalist Duncan Campbell who has
prompted her return to Los Angeles, California as that is where he has
been based, although she has never married and has made clear she has no
plans to do so.
