The director of Billy Liar (1963), John Schlesinger, recalled how he and producer Jo Janni, cast Christie for the part of Lizzie.
Both men were in Janni's office three floors above Bruton Street, Mayfair. 'We were discussing the girl we wanted for Lizzie, a sort of earthy mother figure, a heavily-breasted all-enveloping creature ... I saw this magazine [the now defunct Town magazine], this girl on the cover and a series of photos inside. Very good pictures, very provocative. She looked scrumptious, absolutely marvellous. I didn't connect the girl with Julie as I remembered her.'
Janni, however, remembered it differently. He said he saw Julia's picture on a magazine cover, idly passing the time on a train to Bradford and decided, 'That's her, that's Lizzie.'
