Julie Christie: The Biography

This biography charts the remarkable life of the tea planter's daughter born in India who blossomed from troubled Sussex schoolgirl into the striking young woman who unforgettably sashayed to stardom, down a Bradford street, in the film Billy Liar. Julie Christie became The Face of 1965, made the miniskirt notorious, won an Oscar with limited screen experience, was courted by Hollywood's most eligible men - including Waren Beatty - and provided international cinema with one of its most vivid and enduring images by wearing a Russian fur hat for her role in Doctor Zhivago.
The authors have drawn on interviews with Julie Christie, her friends, fellow actors, actresses and film industry associates to provide a look at the career and life of one of Britain's most successful, yet private, actresses who has delighted screen audiences for forty years.
