Julie Christie

Julie Christie (born 14 April, 1941) is an actress who portrayed Madam Rosmerta in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

Born in Assam, India, she was a pop icon of the "swinging London" era of the 1960s. She made her feature film debut in The Fast Lady, a 1962 romantic comedy. She also appeared in critically acclaimed films such as Doctor Zhivago (1965), Darling (1965), for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress, and Nicolas Roeg's Don't Look Now with Donald Sutherland. She was also considered for the role of Honey Ryder in Dr. No, the first James Bond film; she was eventually passed over in favour of Ursula Andress.

In 1996, she appeared as Gertrude in Kenneth Branagh's film adaption of Hamlet.

Julie has won the Academy Award, Golden Globe, BAFTA, and Screen Actors Guild Awards.
