Birthdate[edit]

Some sources seem to say she was born in 1940, including the birthdays column in today's Guardian - anybody know for sure? sjorford →•← 13:52, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The New York Times has her being born in both years [1]! Thincat 14:35, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
The Telegraph has her age as 71, in a Today's Birthdays feature (dated 14 April 2011), that would mean she was born in 1940. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 18:46, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There are reputable sources that give both dates, so in truth it could be either date. This issue is discussed further at User_talk:Betty_Logan/Archive_4#Julie_Christie. Until there is official confirmation one way or the other it's best that we retain both dates. Betty Logan (talk) 19:52, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's tough being born in a foreign country like India, the acutal year may never be known. Like Joan Crawford has absolutely no confirmed birth year. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.88.29.11 (talk) 01:29, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Technical college in Brighton[edit]

The article City College Brighton And Hove lists her as an alumna. Any idea whether this can be sourced?Itsmejudith (talk)

Dame[edit]

I pretty sure Julie was knighted (damed?) at some point, but know none of the details. Adding "Dame" to the lead sentence for now. --jwandersTalk 09:13, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If she was made a Dame that would be a pretty big deal and should be easily established with a google check. I've tried and found no evidence. I'll remove it on this basis. If anyone can find anything on this, of course it should be put back. Rossrs (talk) 21:24, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This article from the Daily Mail confirms that she was not honored before 2008 but there was speculation that she would be this year - [2]. That appears not to have happened. Rossrs (talk) 21:34, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Later work = Away From Her[edit]

Most of the "Later work" section is about "Away from her". I think it should either be split to 2 sections or shortened. Agreed? Thanks Kvsh5 (talk) 00:40, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strange revert[edit]

It seems that some edits were reverted that were done by a sock. They seemed like good edits though. Is there a valid reason for the revert?--Canoe1967 (talk) 13:54, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nop. No edits by that sock is good edits. Also, Wikipedia:BAN#Edits_by_and_on_behalf_of_banned_editors. Nymf hideliho! 15:09, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Seems that rule says that if an editor is pissed off at a sock then they are allowed to revert all edits, except for typos. Seems like a bullshit rule to me to remove edits that improve the article and are verified, but I guess we have to follow it like all the other bullshit rules here. I won't bother with it then.--Canoe1967 (talk) 15:48, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Photo addition[edit]

Is there some reason why this good quality portrait was removed? As an actress, it seems much more relevant and better. If there's a consensus, I can add it. --Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 21:32, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that is a crappy image of her. If we could find her email her people may get us a better one to use. The last time I tried to replace a crappy blp image I got blocked so I would like to avoid an edit war on this one. Change it. If it is reverted than bring it up at blpn.--Canoe1967 (talk) 22:51, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Memory Loss[edit]

I have removed this:

Christie suffers from a rare form of memory loss called autobiographic amnesia.[1] She said in 2002 that the condition became so severe that she's turned down offers from Hollywood producers and West End directors for fear of not being able to recall her lines.[1] "I'm not sure what [the condition] is, but it makes learning my lines very difficult, so I am happy to stay away from films and stage work. It's a bit sad. Now I can't remember any bad things, only the good things, if I can remember anything about my past at all."[2] Christie is quoted as saying that this story has been made up, invented on the basis of a jokey comment made in a radio interview.[3]

She has stated that her comments were misunderstood. Contrary to the implication of the original story, she has continued to act. In the absence of any other evidence, there doesn't seem to be any reason to give this story credence.--Jack Upland (talk) 10:37, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Waterloo Sunset 'Terry and Julie'[edit]

By the Kinks is generally held to refer to Terence Stamp and Julie Christie, but I can't find a good reference.

Politics[edit]

Apart from the causes listed, she was certainly a member of one of the extreme left parties, either the Socialist Workers Party or another like it. Valetude (talk) 23:34, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
