Julie Christie

Julie Christie is a well-known English actress.

Early Accomplishments

She got her first exposure at the Royal Shakespeare Company in the show Frinton Repertory of Essex.   

Best Known For

She is most recognised for her roles in Billy Liar and Dr. Zhivago. These films marked the beginning of her rise to fame. 

Sexual Orientation

Julie is straight. In late 2007, she got married to her long-time partner Duncan Campbell. Prior to the marriage, they had been together for 28 years. Her wedding caused a lot of attention because she had previously stated that she saw no need to get married because marriage is for religious people. Probably this was the reason she had a secret wedding in India. Even her brother was not in attendance because she eventually informed her family after the event had already taken place.

Religious Belief

Julie is non-religious. She had clearly stated that she is not religious and therefore was not going to get married but after some years we hear a different story.
