Julie Christie found her breakout role in the film Darling, directed by John Schlesinger, which portrayed the superficial rise and eventual disillusionment of a 1960s party girl, Diana Scott. Initially nervous about her significant role, Christie was often exhausted by the demanding filming schedule. Her performance garnered the attention of her co-stars like Dirk Bogarde, who praised her undeniable star quality. Although the film faced challenges in casting, Christie's role helped secure its production and showcased the talents of the British new wave movement in cinema.
Christie was reportedly incredibly nervous about her first lead role, and was often found asleep on the set, exhausted by the demanding schedule.
Bogarde wrote: She has more magnetism or, if you like, star quality than any actress I have worked with.
