An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed 7 3/4" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Julie Christie was born in Chabua, Assam, India in 1941, where her British family owned a tea plantation. After her father had an illegitimate child with an Indian mistress, her parents separated and she was sent to school in England. She was strikingly beautiful, but she was not a good student and got expelled from the first school she went to, but she discovered acting in school productions. After her schooling, she pursued acting full-time, and in 1961 got a role on TV's A for Andromeda. After a bit part in another movie, she got a major role in The Fast Lady. The following year, she got her big break in John Schlesinger's Billy Liar. It was Schlesinger's Darling two years later that won her the Best Actress Oscar and made her a major star. Many stars who win Oscars follow up with parts in lesser movies they take solely for the money, but not Christie. She followed Darling with excellent performances in four fine movies: Doctor Zhivago, Fahrenheit 451, Far from the Madding Crowd, and Petulia! She then entered into a long term relationship with Warren Beatty, and she stopped making epic movies, and made just a few art house type movies (including McCabe & Mrs. Miller [nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film] with Beatty in 1971 and Nicholas Roeg's ultra quirky Don't Look Now in 1973). Many people feel she essentially gave up her career for Beatty, which if true is a great shame, for she she would surely have had an amazing body of work had she continued making the quantity and quality of films she did before she met Beatty. In 1974, her long affair with Beatty ended, but they remained great friends and she appeared as his ex-girl friend in Shampoo the following year, and again with him in Heaven Can Wait in 1978. But she had moved to Wales after their breakup, and other than those two movies she only made one other movie between 1973 and 1981. She appeared in a handful of movies in the early 1980s, and then mostly went back into seclusion until the late 1990s, when she again made a handful of movies, including Alan Rudolph's Afterglow (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film) in 1997, where she played a romantic lead (at age 56), looking as beautiful as ever, and Away From Her (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film) in 2006. She continues to make a few film appearances, and she is involved in many causes, and continues to live in Wales, where she married her long time boyfriend in 2007. As of 2021, Julie is still alive at the age of 81! Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Julie Christie! Also note that this still measures 7 3/4" x 10" [20 x 25 cm], but it has not been trimmed. About the Collection this Item Comes From Note that this item (and 17 others we are auctioning this week, each in its own auction) was consigned to us by a man who was a successful business man, and in late 1989, he decided to take up the hobby of obtaining autographed stills! He obtained current addresses of many celebrities of the 1920s through the 1950s who were still alive, and he also purchased original vintage stills on those celebrities (when he could find vintage ones), or he purchased repro stills when he could not find vintage ones. He then wrote a nice detailed handwritten letter to each of those stars, enclosing one or more photos, and he described in detail what he liked about their career, and how much of a fan he was. The celebrities who received his letters mostly replied by sending back the item(s) signed, and sometimes they wrote nice letters as well! Our consignor continued with this hobby for around 2 1/2 years, and over that time he was able to acquire a large number of signed stills, which he has consigned to us. In this set of auctions we are auctioning 18 of his autographed items (and we will auction others from his collection in future "all signed" auctions). We feel certain that the autographs on these items are authentic! Note that each of the 18 items from this consignor all have this paragraph on them. Condition: good to very good. There is a faint horizontal scuff mark across the top 1/2" of the still. There is a tiny tear and a "bump" near the center of the top of the still. Learn More about condition grades
