Julie’s career was relatively quiet during the 80s, but thereafter she continued to receive significant critical recognition for her work, including Oscar nominations for the independent films Afterglow (1997) and Away for her (2006).
Julie’s earliest role to gain attention was in BBC serial A for Andromeda (1961). She was a contender for the role of Honey Ryder in the first James Bond film, Dr No, but producer Albert R. Broccoli reportedly thought her breasts were too small.
Aside from acting, Julie Christie has been involved in various causes including animal rights, environmental protection, and the anti-nuclear power movement.
She is also a Patron of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, as well as Reprieve, and the CFS/ME charity Action for ME.
