Julie Christie became The Face of 1965, made the miniskirt notorious, won an Oscar with limited screen experience, was courted by Hollywood's most eligible men - including Waren Beatty - and provided international cinema with one of its most vivid and enduring images by wearing a Russian fur hat for her role in Doctor Zhivago.
