Born on her father's tea plantation in Assam, India, she became an icon of the 1960s through her spellbinding appearances in films such as Billy Liar , Darling (for which she won an Oscar), Doctor Zhivago and Far From the Madding Crowd. In the 1970s Christie teamed up with her lover, actor Warren Beatty, in McCabe & Mrs Miller (gaining her another Oscar nomination), Shampoo and Heaven Can Wait, as well as starring in the cinematic masterpieces The Go-Between and 'Don't Look Now'.
