Summer Under The Stars on TCM - Julie Christie on August 2nd

TCM just kicked off it's annual Summer Under The Stars festival today with Basil Rathbone. For anyone new to this, TCM selects 31 actors and actresses for the month of August and for each day chooses a specific actor and plays nothing but their movies all day long. This is the 8th edition of this very popular theme that has continued to grow and grow. I will pick and choose at random some of the stars that will be featured this month and chose actress Julie Christie to get things started. Julie is of course most famous for her role as Lara in the classic film Doctor Zhivago. That film will be played along with Far From The Madding Crowd (1967), Billy Liar (1963), Darling (1965), Shampoo (1975), and others.
