The stunningly beautiful Julie Christie rose to fame
with her Oscar-winning performance in Darling, the cynical tale
of a London model who achieves wealth and fame at the expense
of a soulless existence and an unhappy marriage. After the double-whammy
of Darling and Doctor Zhivago in 1965, Christie's star status
was cemented for the rest of the '60s and through the '70s, as
she traveled effortlessly between modern-day roles and period
dramas. Julie
Christie made three high-profile films with her then-lover,
Warren Beatty--McCabe and Mrs.Miller (earning her second Oscar
nomination), Shampoo, and Heaven Can Wait--before exacting a kind
of semiretirement during which she took roles less frequently.
However, she made a triumphant return in Afterglow as a still-beautiful
has-been actress considering an extramarital affair with a younger
man.
