Oskar Werner and Julie Christie in Fahrenheit 451 (1966)
Julie Frances Christie (born April 14, 1940) is an Academy Award-winning English actress for her role in the 1965 film, Darling.

 Bio for Julie Christie on MSN Movies
Thus, Christie was not the "newcomer" that some perceived her to be when she shook film audiences to their foundations in Darling (1965), a poignant time capsule about a stylishly amoral sexual butterfly.
Few of Christie's films of the 1970s and 1980s seemed worthy of her talents -- The Go-Between (1971) and her cameo in Nashville (1975) being exceptions -- though, in fact, she was less interested in pursuing a career than in campaigning for various social and political causes.
Christie's performance in the British TV movie The Railway Station Man (1992) was a choice example of her devotion to social issues -- in this case, the ongoing ideological (and shooting) war in Ireland.

Christie was flying high by 1965, appearing in two major films: Schlesinger's "Darling" (for which she would win an Academy Award) and David Lean's "Doctor Zhivago," in which she played Lara, the tragic heroine.
Christie carries the core of the movie's sorrow -- and that means the sorrow of revolutionary Russia, as well as her own -- not just in her hopelessly blue eyes, but in the set of her jaw.
But before Christie would tackle Hardy, she put an entirely different sort of woman on the screen: shallow, clever, earth-quakingly gorgeous and determined to be a star regardless of the emotional cost to herself and those around her.

Stage-trained at London's Central School of Music and Drama, Christie worked in repertory theater in the late 1950s and early 1960s, polishing her technique before making her tyro screen appearance in 1962's Crooks Anonymous.
She earned the attention of critics and public alike as the girlfriend of Billy Liar (1963), then won a Best Actress Oscar as the free-thinking social climber in Darling (1965, a role written with her in mind).
Christie's output in recent years has been erratic, with only four films-The Return of the Soldier (1981), Heat and Dust (1983), Power (1986), and Fools of Fortune (1990)-receiving any meaningful theatrical distribution in America.

As Bathsheba Everdene, a plucky, self-sufficient landowner who becomes enmeshed in the love of three different men, Christie again balances that graciously composed façade with an innocence that's buried deep; she shows a kind of cautious openness to the world around her.
An extraordinary cast joined Christie, including Terence Stamp and Alan Bates, but the movie was rejected by the same audiences that loved the supposedly with-it quality of "Darling." "Far From the Madding Crowd" is a picture that has never quite received its due; it ranks among Schlesinger's best work, as well as Christie's.
Christie racked up an astonishing number of movie credits through the late '70s, among them François Truffaut's "Fahrenheit 451" (1966), Richard Lester's "Petulia" (1968), Nicolas Roeg's "Don't Look Now" (1973) and Warren Beatty and Buck Henry's "Heaven Can Wait" (1978).

Christie moved to the United States in the 1970s; her sojourn there distinguished by three movies she made with lover (and later pal) Warren Beatty.
Since the 80s, the extremely private Christie has chosen fewer, and lower profile, projects, while continuing to turn in exemplary performances, as in "Heat and Dust" (1983), "Miss Mary" (1986) and as the ravishingly beautiful, alcoholic widow in the otherwise disappointing "Fools of Fortune" (1990).
Christie returned to films after a six year absence to co-star with Dennis Quaid in the medieval epic "Dragonheart" and went on to co-star as Gertrude in Kenneth Branagh's full-length version of Shakespeare's "Hamlet" (both 1996).
