Julie Christie, the Rumors Are True

The return of ’60s icon Julie Christie is enough for us to end the day with a flimsy excuse to post video and audio homages.
However, in no small feat, Canadian actress Sarah Polley (“Go,” “The Sweet Hereafter”) actually coaxed Christie out of near retirement to appear in her directorial debut, “Away From Her.”

Pretty astonishing considering it is her first film and Christie is no real fan of the movie world.

From the Times:

“I don’t like that world very much,” Christie said. “I feel I should apologize because it sounds so prissy and so ungrateful. Of course I have got so much out of it and I’m glad my life has gone the way it has. But I can’t help it: it leaves a slightly bad taste in my mouth.”
