Julie Christie makes a rare public appearance after eight years

Seventies movie legend spotted shopping in London with husband

Julie Christie, the iconic seventies movie star, has been seen for the first time in eight years as she enjoyed a day out shopping in East London with her husband, Duncan Campbell.

High-profile movie roles and a radiant appearance

During her career, Julie starred in several high-profile movie roles, including the horror-mystery film "Don't Look Now" alongside Donald Sutherland. The 84-year-old actor looked radiant in a light blue denim jumper, paired with a red scarf and cargo trousers.

Rare public appearance and past controversies

This marks Julie Christie's first known public appearance since 2016 when she was last spotted on a trip to the dry cleaners. In the 1973 film "Don't Look Now," there was a controversial sex scene between the characters, leading to mistaken beliefs among fans.

Turning her back on Hollywood

In the last decade, Julie has maintained a low profile after turning away from Hollywood. She now spends her time in Wales and London, citing her mother's frugal and environmentally conscious upbringing as the reason for her disdain towards the waste and extravagance prevalent in Hollywood.

Acclaimed career and Oscar win

Julie Christie received an Oscar for her work in the film "Darling" back in 1965 and has garnered critical acclaim for other titles such as "Afterglow" and "Away From Her," which received Academy Award nominations.
