Hello Bruce,
Another comment for an English Actress, after that I need vacation.
She is without any doubt one of the most beautiful actress who made films
Specially in Zhivago. Everybody in France when they saw this film found her the most attractive part of the film.
In the mean time she become an icône for fashion with a style of life of the London new generation.
I don’t know how many films I saw because I don’t remenbered her in Potter, in Nashville and Troy.
But one of her most great succes in France was the Go Between, critics and box office
And that time the reason was Losey the director, the subject and of course her and all the actors, specially Margaret Leighton and the young actor who plaid the Go Between.
I hope good time for everybody
See you
Pierre
Hey Pierre….good movie thoughts on Julie Christie. I agree that was and still is a very beautiful actress. I think the world fell in love with her Laura in Dr. Z. Interesting that Go-Between out did Dr. Z in French box offices. I actually know very little about that movie…but your comment has me interested in tracking it down. Good feedback….enjoy your day.

Hey Dan
1. Thanks for the trivia lists, comment and visit….all are greatly appreciated.
2. Wow….shocked….I tell ya shocked that she is that high on the Oracle list.
3. 34 movies for a film career that is almost 60 years old is not too impressive…yet
4. She is in 187th place….still trying to digest that.
5. Alan Bates and David Thewlis are her most frequent co-stars (of the ones listed)….not surprised by Bates…but Thewlis is another surprise.
6. 29 Oscar winning co-stars…..seems low for a film career that is 60 years old…but pretty good when seeing she only has 34 movies on our table.
Good feedback as always.
I consider Julie Christie’s peak period on the big screen to have been from 1965’s Darling to 1978’s Heaven Can Wait, after which as Wikipedia points out her appearance in mainstream movies decreased.
In fact the stats table above verifies that, with the exception of a few mega-hit movies in which she had supporting roles [such as Troy and Potter] her post-1978 flicks were generally received miserably at the box office.
And if Wiki and Cogerson can’t convince you in the matter perhaps these words from this site’s Oracle even back in 1983 [and decline has been steeper overall since then] will-
“Julie Christie was expected to be one of the great enduring superstars. ——-However she made few films and one can only conclude that lack of personal ambition prevented her from achieving that legendary status that she was capable of.”
However awards and noms justifiably continued and indeed IMDB credits her overall with 48 acting awards and 28 noms and she has a reported net worth of $10 million, not inconsequential for a performer whose big screen origins were in the British cinema of the early 1960s.
Her LEGACY
(1) for ME – I will always think of her and her beauty when I hear the scrumptious ‘Lara’s Theme’ [aka Somewhere my Love] from 1965’s Dr Zhivago, not just one of the highest grossing films of all time but one of the greatest political films ever in my opinion.
(2) GENERALLY “In Darling, her husky voice and magnetically sexual personality set fire to the screen. Christie radiance is too dominant, too magical to be given…short shrift.” Most thespians would probably kill to get such a positive review from The Master. Indeed Jason Statham might have settled for even a negative recognition from him! So this new page is “Voted Up!”
[In Darling her co-star was of course my Dirk]
NB: Over half a century from 1957 until 2007 Julie appeared in half a dozen stage production alongside her film career. Locations have included England AND in 1964’s Comedy of Errors Broadway.
Hey Bob….you beat me to the Joel punch….as you included his thoughts on her career (up to 1983)….she did get two more Oscar nominations for Best Actress after that year….but like you say…her post 1978 movie career has not been impressive at all when looking at box office grosses. Supporting roles are indeed the highlight….and not thinking many people went to Troy or Harry Potter because of her….though casting her as Brad Pitt’s mom is pretty good casting.
I like your mini-reviews of Dr. Z and Darling….those two movies made her a star for life. Good information on her stage productions…good and unknown information to me. Good feedback as always.
HI BRUCE Thanks for the counter-feedback.
The set of Julie’s Shampoo with Warren and Goldie must have been a quiet place to be – I don’t think! In an interview that I saw before Carrie Fisher’s sad premature death she told of how, her being just 18 at the time and Beatty having a rather “predatory” reputation [ask Axl Rose who wrote and sang a song that claims “old man” Warren stole Axl’s very young girlfriend] mom Debbie chaperoned Carrie during production.
Apparently a tug-of-war broke out between Warren and Deb as he wanted Carrie to say the “F-word” on the screen and Debbie insisted that she use s***w instead. I haven’t seen the movie so I don’t know who won but (1) sounds like a classic Cogerson compromise to me! (2) I DO know whose side Harry Lillis Crosby would have been on – shortly before his death [1977] he publicly condemned what he regarded as the over- explicit sex in Shampoo. However his criticisms remind me of the lovely satirical song ‘One Day at a Time’-
“Do you remember when You walked among men?
Well Jesus, you know, if You’re looking below, it’s worse now than then.”
STEVE
I have managed at last to get the Jen Connelly comments through to you – but only on another page [the Julie Christie one – see immediately previous post to you] would accept them though that was not the case earlier.
As I’ve said on the Jen post her own Connelly page is closed to further comments. All very confusing and frustrating but the substantial comments just posted to you on Julie’s page refer to Jen.
Thanks Bob I’ll post my reply tomorrow, maybe Bruce will have things fixed by then.
The chief seems to be MIA again. If you notice it’s always quiet when he’s not around.

After the protracted effort that it took to get my original Jen Connelly substantial post through, getting your ultimate full reply [which I enthusiastically await] might seem like a bit of an anti-climax but “Even the weariest river winds somewhere safe to sea!” [Algernon Charles Swinburn, The Garden of Proserpine]
What is still disappointing though is that WH didn’t respond to my appeal for help with another problem a while ago. I have long since given up looking for that response so I can’t recall precisely when I sent the request and the page to which I posted it.
I’ve written a letter to Daddy
His address is Heaven above
I’ve written “Dear Daddy, we miss you
And wish you were with us to love”
Instead of a stamp, I put kisses
The postman says that’s best to do
I’ve written a letter to Daddy
Saying “I love you”
[Child star Baby Jane Hudson in the 1962 Crawford/Davis thriller]
What concerns me about WH’s seeming negligence is that possibly (1) either he doesn’t have the time to read all of our posts these days, which would be understandable given his mega, diverse workload or (2) “Frankly my dear [he doesn’t] give a d**n.” about the difficulties viewers might be encountering in accessing the site or part thereof.
Whatever! – I am beginning to feel leaderless like one of those abandoned runners in Forrest Gump who were told that their idol could no longer lead them in their strenuous gallivants all over the place. I can empathize with how they felt as if I may reasonably-topically paraphrase a saying: “A father’s not just for Father’s Day.”
However I suppose I’m lucky that my stuff is always so well worth reading that I enjoy reading it myself! because like those poor, hapless Gumpian runners we viewers do not have the influence that would get positive results from urging “Run Forrest Run!”.

“Bruceo! Bruceo! Wherefore art thou Bruceo?”
Hi Bob, still not sure why you posted your review in Julie’s page instead of our usual haunt. Giving Bruce even more work to do? I see… getting back at him for not looking into his site now and then. 🙂
Funny thing is all these posts and not much mention of Julie and her films. tsk tsk I’ll pass by later.
[leaps majestically out of site]
I have seen 10 Julie Christie movies. Six of these movies are in the top 10. I believe I have seen some of her British career that did not make it to North American theatres. I notice that Young Cassidy which I considered a solid film only got 49.3 %. I’m guessing this is due to poor box office.
The HIGHEST rated movie I have seen is Doctor Zhivago. I recently re-watched this with my Mom who had never seen it before.
The highest rated movie I have NOT seen is Harry Potter.
The LOWEST rated movie I have seen is Young Cassidy.
Favourite Julie Christie Movies:
Heaven Can Wait
Doctor Zhivago
McCabe and Mrs. Miller
Finding Neverland
Other Julie Christie Movies I Have Seen:
Shampoo
Darling
Petulia
Don’t Look Now
The Go-Between
Young Cassidy
Hey Flora. Thanks for checking out our Julie Christie movie page. I have seen 21 of these movies…including 16 of the Top 17. My only miss in the Top 17 is Hamlet. I just do not like Shakespeare movies so I avoid them whenever possible. Of the 10 you have seen….I have not seen The Go-Between or Young Cassidy. Neither made your favorites list…so thinking I am not missing much by not seeing them. As for Young Cassidy….it got a “good” review percentage by critics and audiences….but it was ignored by movie “paying” audiences which lowered it’s UMR score. Long way of saying…you are correct in your thinking about Young Cassidy and our UMR score. Good stuff as always.
