Julie Christie, the Oscar-winning British actress, was recently spotted in east London with her husband, Duncan Campbell. This is a rare public appearance for the 84-year-old, as she retired from the limelight in 2016. She was looking chic in a light blue shirt, navy cargo trousers, and a red scarf, while holding hands with her 80-year-old journalist husband.
The couple was seen visiting a local dry cleaners, with Julie wheeling a red suitcase and later emerging with a brown paper bag. Julie rose to fame in the 60s with her breakthrough role in the comedy-drama film Billy Liar, and went on to become a Hollywood star with her Oscar-winning performance in Darling and her role in the highest-grossing film of all time, Doctor Zhivago.
Apart from her successful film career, Julie has also received acclaim for her roles in McCabe, Mr & Mrs Miller, Afterglow, and Away From Her. She has also starred in other well-known films such as Far From the Madding Crowd, Shampoo, and Heaven Can Wait. However, one of her most notorious roles was in Don't Look Now, where she starred alongside the late Donald Sutherland in what has been called one of British cinema's most controversial sex scenes.
In a 1973 film based on a Daphne du Maurier short story, Julie played Zara Antipova in Doctor Zhivago. She first gained widespread recognition as an actress in the 60s, and just two years into her career, she won an Oscar. In an interview with Film4, Julie addressed the rumours surrounding the intimate scene in Don't Look Now, dismissing them as nothing more than "pretend sex" that left both her and Sutherland "dreadfully embarrassed."
Julie's last role in a film was as the narrator in 2017's The Bookshop, but she has also appeared in other notable films such as Finding Neverland, Troy, and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. In recent years, she has chosen to live a more down-to-earth lifestyle, moving from California to a farm in Wales and eventually settling in London.
In a 2015 interview with the Daily Express, Julie spoke about her dislike for the Hollywood lifestyle, which she believed went against the values instilled in her by her mother. Her mother, Rosemary, was known for her frugal and conscious approach to the environment, which rubbed off on Julie, who still hangs her laundry outside to dry to this day.
Julie dated some of Hollywood's biggest stars, including Terence Stamp and Warren Beatty, and was also linked to musician Brian Eno, record producer Lou Adler, director Jim McBride, and photographer Terry O'Neill. However, she has been in a relationship with her husband Duncan since the late 70s. Although they are married, the couple has never publicly revealed when they tied the knot.
