Doctor Zhivago: Julie Christie stuns in unearthed pics as she leaves little to imagination

Aged just 25 at the time, Julie played Yuri Zhivago's (Omar Sharif) mistress in the epic romantic drama. As of 2016, it was the eighth highest-grossing film of all time in America and Canada when adjusted for inflation.

As fans enjoy the blast from the past movie this afternoon, Express.co.uk takes a look back at some of Julie's most memorable moments.

The actress came to international attention for her performances in Darling in 1965 before landing a role in the popular film.

In the same year, she took part in a number of photoshoots much to the delight of her fans.

In one picture, the British actress was seen wearing a green dress as she leaned towards the camera in a studio portrait.

Julie smiled for the snap as gave viewers a glimpse of her chest and legs.

In 1992, the actress showcased a whole new look sporting a full fringe and brunette hair.

As part of a shoot, she sprawled across a bed in a low-cut black dress which clung on to her physique.

Another throwback snap shows Julie flashing her jaw-dropping pins as she leaned against a bed frame.

Bringing further attention to her legs, she posed wearing nothing but a shirt as part of the risque photoshoot.

Other pictures from Doctor Zhivago show her in boob-baring outfits alongside her on-screen lover.

Julie's most noted recent role is narrating 2017 drama film The Bookshop. She last acted in 2012's The Company You Keep playing Mimi Lurie.
