Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Born a tea-planter's daughter in India, Julie Christie led a troubled younger life growing up in Britain until her breakthrough performance in the 1963 film Billy Liar. Success soon followed, including an Oscar for her role in Darling, an acclaimed performance in Dr. Zhivago, and a string of romances that included a marriage with Warren Beatty. In the face of her success and fame, however, Christie soon shied away from stardom in favor of a quiet and isolated personal life. This insightful biography charts Christie’s career right up through Oscar-nominated performance in Away from Her and uncovers little-known secrets about the private life of this astounding actress.

5.0 out of 5 stars For Julie Christie Fans, February 26, 2006
I was born after Julie Christie's prime, and therefore didn't know much about her. After watching Dr. Zhivago, I was intrigued to know more. This book was definitely helpful in fulfilling my curiosity. It is an easy read; it's definitely not as convoluted as some actresses biographies are (i.e. Liz Taylor, Marilyn Monroe). There's not hundreds of names thrown at you every which way, which helps it to not be too confusing. It gave a good sense of who Julie Christie was and is. It also goes into detail for her most important films. There are 16 pages of pictures (most black and white). The chapters are:
1 Early Days
2 Reluctant Star
3 Billy Liar
4 Birmingham, Moscow, New York
5 Darling Julie
6 Doctor Zhivago
7 'And the winner is...'
8 Warren Beatty
9 Don't Look Now
10 Back Home
I have seen several of Christie's movies since reading the book. It is a must-read for any Julie Christie fan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Light on biography, heavy on film analysis. Verdict: Terrific!, July 5, 2009
By K. Anderson "Xanadude" (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a fan of Julie Christie, an actress of intelligence and well- documented beauty, I found this biography a real treat. I already knew a lot about her life (which, since she is a woman who shuns the spotlight and many of the excesses that make for good, trashy, celebrity bios...is pretty uneventful) so I really loved that so much of the book is devoted to analyzing individual films and providing behind-the-scenes info.
An easy, accessible read and a fitting look at the career of an endlessly fascinating actress.
