Instead, she was born in colonial Assam in India on April 14, 1941, where her father owned a tea plantation. Her mother was a painter, and at that point, it seemed she was set to follow in her mother\u2019s footsteps.<\/p>\n<p>Julie\u2019s educational career didn\u2019t start that well. She was sent to a boarding school in England at age six. Over the following years, Christie was expelled from several schools.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would be shocking for you to know how little it took to get expelled in those days,\u201d she said in 2007.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce, it was because I had my school dress tucked in my knickers and was accused of enticing village boys.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"newsner-0b2035beb0de09ea52f7299a3f65f8ec\" class=\"newsner-0b2035beb0de09ea52f7299a3f65f8ec newsner-amp_article_inside_content\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"newsner-1716599958\" class=\"newsner-article_inside_content\"><\/div>\n<p>Over the years, Julie has never been interested in speaking too much about herself or paying herself compliments. Although she later understood that she possessed good looks, that was not the case as a youngster. This probably wasn\u2019t made any easier when a nun \u2013 by Christie\u2019s recollection \u2013 told her, \u201cStop making faces\u2014you\u2019re ugly enough as it is.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-119723 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2023\/02\/05190752\/juliechristie1.jpg\" alt=\"Julie Christie\" width=\"630\" height=\"337\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2023\/02\/05190752\/juliechristie1.jpg\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Youtube\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4xCmBu04zwY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">StudiocanalUK<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Julie went on to study in Paris, France, before returning to England and acting studies at London\u2019s Central School for Drama.

Julie had her trademark expression, the \u201csweet smile,\u201d and it was clear that she was very talented.<\/p>\n<p>After years of performances (and many more parts) Christie got her breakthrough in 1963 when director John Schlesinger<em>\u00a0<\/em>cast her in his film\u00a0<em>Billy Liar<\/em>.

That, of course, elevated her profile in the eyes of many other directors and film companies, and it didn\u2019t take long before another hit came her way.<\/p>\n<p>Christie was cast as Lara in the 1965 romance\u00a0<em>Doctor Zhivago<\/em>, starring alongside Omar Sharif. The film earned cult status and certainly turned Julie Christie into a colossal star.
