Julie Christie(I)

Julie gave friend Sharon Tate a copy of Thomas Hardy's novel "Tess of the d'Urbervilles" with the inscription "For my Hardy heroine" (Julie had recently become a Thomas Hardy heroine in Longe Deste Insensato Mundo (1967)). Sharon gave the novel to her husband Roman Polanski shortly before her death. When Polanski later made the film Tess - Uma Lição de Vida (1979) he dedicated it "For Sharon".
