Julie Christie became one of the defining faces of 1960s cinema, with striking beauty and real dramatic range that made her a symbol of changing attitudes towards women. Don’t Look Now haunts a grieving Venice couple with visions of their daughter’s death, McCabe & Mrs. Miller partners a gambler and a brothel madam, Far from the Madding Crowd draws three suitors to a farm owner, and Away from Her watches a husband face his wife’s memory loss. Doctor Zhivago, Darling and Billy Liar round out the list.
