Quotations: All women are aware of that moment when suddenly the boys don't look at you.
It's a fairly common thing, when suddenly you no longer attract that instant male attention because of the way you look. I never really knew how to enjoy beauty, but it took the form of a subconscious arrogance, expecting things, all muddled up with celebrity. Then you begin to deal with it. In the s I was amazed to be talked about as a 60s sex symbol. I wasn't that person, as if I were a doll from the past.
I had to learn to come to terms with that. It's funny, it's silly, the ridiculousness of having asked so much of celebrity. Then it becomes really interesting and very much part of the excitement of the life you're living now, knowing you're approaching the end of it.

Sharif said: "She was a typical woman in love, masochistic in a sort of way. She always seemed to be loving the wrong guy. The same with Ava Gardner and Rita Hayworth, who were friends of mine.
I couldn't believe the guys they fell in love with. I suppose she wouldn't change it for anything. She had the real happiness of knowing love. Christie herself was once asked what were her strongest memories of her own life: "Well, they nearly always involve a chap and nature.
There are quite a few of those moments in my head, anyway. She fearlessly tackled the nudity and sex scenes in 's Don't Look Now. The set was closed that day with just her and Sutherland, plus the director and director of photography.
Paramount executive Peter Bart later claimed he had witnessed full sex taking place, but the only four who were in the room have refuted that he was even there and always denied any such claims. In she moved to Wales, happily announcing she didn't have a car and baked her own bread. She has been in a relationship with journalist Duncan Campbell since and they subsequently married but have never revealed the date.
