The original "it girl" before that was even a thing, Julie Christie defined cool Britannia in the swinging sixties with her Oscar-winning turn in *Darling* and those impossibly soulful eyes in *Doctor Zhivago*. At 85, this reclusive screen goddess has collected practically every major acting award and remains one of cinema's most luminous legends—though she's famously preferred tending her garden to tending her fame. Six of her films landed in the BFI's Top 100 British films, proving some stars just burn brighter than others.
