Julie Christie Facts
Producer Joseph Janni, who produced four of Christie's earliest pictures (Billy Liar (1963), Darling (1965), Far from the Madding Crowd (1967), and In Search of Gregory (1969)) and generally is credited, along with director John Schlesinger, in launching her career, created a complex tax shelter for Christie to insulate her earnings from the prohibitively high British tax rate during the 1960s. When the UK Inland Revenue finally investigated the tax shelter many years later, Inland Revenue officials declared it was one of the most complicated tax-avoidance scheme it had come across. Christie herself was cleared of any wrong-doing.

Turned down roles in Two for the Road (1967), Valley of the Dolls (1967), Rosemary's Baby (1968), Chinatown (1974), American Gigolo (1980), and a re-make of the Greta Garbo classic Camille (1936).

Her mother Rosemary, a Welsh painter, was a childhood friend of Richard Burton.
