act/play/star opposite someone David Lean Julie Christie
In 1965, on the set of "Doctor Zhivago," director David Lean paused the camera between takes and watched Julie Christie from behind the monitor. He reportedly whispered to a crew member, “She doesn’t act the scene. She is the scene.” That quiet observation captured what the film world was beginning to understand. Julie Christie wasn’t simply a performer reciting lines; she brought an entire world of internal life to the screen with every glance. Just one year before, she had captured international attention with her role as Liz in "Billy Liar" (1963), but it was her luminous, complex performance in "Darling" (1965) that made her an icon, earning her the Academy Award for Best Actress.
Julie Frances Christie was born on April 14, 1940, in Chukua, Assam Province, British India, where her father, Frank St. John Christie, managed a tea plantation. Her mother, Rosemary, was a painter and lover of books. When Julie was still a young child, her parents separated, and she was sent to live with a foster family in rural Wales. That early dislocation and change of environment deeply influenced her personality independent, reflective, slightly removed from conventional expectations.
She attended the Convent of Our Lady School in St. Leonards-on-Sea, where she clashed with the nuns due to her rebellious spirit. Later, she studied at Wycombe Court School, an independent girls’ school, before enrolling at the Central School of Speech and Drama in London. It was there, in the post-war city still healing from bombings, that Christie honed her craft and discovered the power of performance. She started in theater, but her ethereal looks and intelligent presence quickly drew film producers’ attention.
After small roles in British television, she gained early recognition with "A for Andromeda" (1961), a BBC science fiction series. But her cinematic breakthrough came with "Billy Liar" opposite Tom Courtenay. She followed it with "Darling," where she portrayed Diana Scott, a model navigating London's superficial society. Her role as Lara in "Doctor Zhivago" further cemented her as a global star. The film, adapted from Boris Pasternak’s novel and directed by David Lean, was a sweeping romantic epic and one of the highest-grossing films of its time.
By the late 1960s, Christie was among the most sought-after actresses in the world. She starred opposite Terence Stamp in "Far from the Madding Crowd" (1967), then gave a haunting performance in "Petulia" (1968) opposite George C. Scott, playing a restless San Francisco socialite. The 1970s brought continued success with films like "McCabe & Mrs. Miller" (1971), directed by Robert Altman, where her portrayal of a pragmatic brothel madam earned another Oscar nomination. Roger Ebert later called her performance one of the finest of the decade.
Despite Hollywood’s adoration, Christie maintained a guarded distance from the industry. She turned down roles in films like "Anne of the Thousand Days" and "Anne Hall" and preferred work that aligned with her personal values or creative instincts. Her partnership with actor Warren Beatty, both romantic and artistic, lasted through the 1970s. Though they never married, Christie appeared in Beatty’s "Shampoo" (1975), and they remained close long after their relationship ended.
She retreated from the spotlight in the 1980s, choosing a quieter life in Wales and later in Norfolk. Christie focused on environmental causes, animal rights, and humanitarian work. Her film appearances became rare but impactful. She returned to critical acclaim in "Afterglow" (1997), earning another Oscar nomination. A decade later, she delivered a devastatingly moving performance as a woman facing Alzheimer’s in Sarah Polley’s "Away from Her" (2006), which brought her the Best Actress award from the National Board of Review and a fifth Oscar nomination.
1965年，在《日瓦戈醫生》的片場，導演大衛·里恩在拍攝間隙暫停攝影，從監視器後觀察朱莉·克里斯蒂。據說，他低聲對一位工作人員說：「她不是在演戲，她本身就是戲。」 這番平靜的觀察，捕捉到了電影界開始理解的真諦。朱莉·克里斯蒂並非一位只會背誦台詞的演員；她每一次的眼神，都展現出她內心世界的豐富多彩。就在一年前，她憑藉在《比利說謊者》（1963年）中飾演的莉茲一角吸引了國際關注，但真正讓她成為偶像的，是她在《親愛的》（1965年）中精彩絕倫、深邃複雜的表演，最終斬獲奧斯卡最佳女主角獎。
朱莉·弗朗西斯·克里斯蒂於1940年4月14日出生於英屬印度阿薩姆邦楚庫阿，她的父親弗蘭克·聖約翰·克里斯蒂在那裡經營一個茶園。她的母親羅斯瑪麗是一位畫家，也是一位愛書之人。朱莉年幼時，父母離異，她被送往威爾斯鄉村的寄養家庭。早期的離婚和環境變化深深影響了她獨立、反思、稍微脫離傳統期望的個性。
她就讀於聖倫納德斯濱海聖母修道院學校，在那裡，她因叛逆的精神與修女們發生了衝突。後來，她就讀於一所私立女子學校威克姆法院學校，之後進入倫敦中央演講與戲劇學院。正是在那裡，在這座戰後仍在從轟炸中恢復的城市，克里斯蒂磨練了自己的演技，並發現了表演的力量。她最初從事戲劇表演，但她優雅的外表和睿智的氣質很快就引起了電影製片人的注意。
在英國電視劇中出演了一些小角色後，她憑藉BBC科幻劇集《仙女座》（1961年）初露鋒芒，聲名鵲起。但她在電影界的突破源自於與湯姆康特奈聯袂演出的《比利說謊者》。隨後，她又在《親愛的》中飾演黛安娜·史考特，一位遊走於倫敦膚淺社會的模特兒。她在《日瓦戈醫生》中飾演的勞拉一角進一步鞏固了她全球影星的地位。這部改編自鮑里斯·帕斯捷爾納克小說、大衛·里恩執導的電影是一部氣勢恢宏的浪漫史詩，也是當時票房最高的電影之一。
到了1960年代末，克里斯蒂已成為全球最炙手可熱的女演員之一。她與特倫斯·斯坦普聯袂主演了《遠離塵囂》（1967年），之後又在《佩圖利亞》（1968年）中與喬治·C·斯科特聯袂出演，奉獻了一場令人難忘的演出，飾演一位躁動不安的舊金山名媛。在1970年代，她憑藉羅伯特·奧特曼執導的《麥凱布與米勒夫人》（1971年）等影片繼續取得成功，她在片中飾演一位務實的妓院老鴇，並再次獲得奧斯卡提名。羅傑·埃伯特後來稱她的表演是十年來最精彩的表演之一。
儘管備受好萊塢追捧，克里斯蒂卻與影壇保持著謹慎的距離。她拒絕了《千日安妮》和《安妮霍爾》等電影中的角色，更喜歡符合她個人價值觀或創作本能的作品。她與演員沃倫·比蒂的愛情和藝術合作關係持續了整個20世紀70年代。儘管他們從未結婚，克里斯蒂還是出演了比蒂1975年的電影《洗髮精》，並且在分手後很長一段時間裡仍然保持著親密的關係。
在1980年代，她淡出了公眾視野，選擇了在威爾斯和諾福克過著更平靜的生活。克里斯蒂致力於環保事業、動物權利和人道主義工作。她很少出現在電影中，卻影響深遠。 1997年，她憑藉《餘暉》再次獲得評論界的好評，並再次獲得奧斯卡提名。十年後，她在莎拉波莉執導的《遠離她》（2006 年）中飾演一位患有阿茲海默症的女性，演技令人動容，並因此獲得美國國家評論協會最佳女主角獎和第五次奧斯卡提名。
