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)
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)
The article City College Brighton And Hove lists her as an alumna. Any idea whether this can be sourced? Itsmejudith ( talk)
I pretty sure Julie was knighted (damed?) at some point, but know none of the details. Adding "Dame" to the lead sentence for now. -- jwanders Talk 09:13, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
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)
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)
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)
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)
I have removed this:
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)
References
By the Kinks is generally held to refer to Terence Stamp and Julie Christie, but I can't find a good reference.

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)
For many years, the article used version 1 (updated to version 2 in 2013) of a photo (taken in 1997) of Julie Christie in the infobox, from 2011 until 2020. For a brief period in 2013 the main photo was replaced by a black & white still from Dr Zhivago. Version 2 was then replaced by the still again in 2020 before reverting back to version 2 in 2024.
There have been recent attempts to restore the black & white still ( [3] & [4]) on the basis that the still is more "recognizable" and "had been in the article for years". The second reason does not carry much weight for me, since both photos have had long spells in the article, so they clearly both had a degree of consensus to endure in the article for so many years. The first reason is more complex; yes, it captures Christie when she was arguably at her most famous, but that is generally not how the criterion of "recognizability" is interpreted for people still in the public eye. For example, we don't have a photo of Harrison Ford taken in the 1970s–90s when he was at the height of his stardom, or Al Pacino for that matter, or Jane Fonda, or any number of living stars. A black & white still from 60 years ago arguably is not an appropriate representation of a person who is still alive today, and is not consistent with how other biographical articles represent their subjects in the infobox.
I am fairly open-minded on the issue since I can see the argument from both angles, and am happy to reconsider my position if someone can point me to a guideline or an authoritative discussion that takes an opposing position on this issue. As it stands, both photographs are in the article version I reverted to, with the b&w still in the section covering that period of Christie's career. Betty Logan ( talk) 14:23, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
