#HappyBirthday to Julie Frances Christie, the versatile, Oscar / BAFTA-winning English film, stage and television actress, born in Assam #OnThisDay in 1940. Her first major (eponymous) role was in the BBC's #AForAndromeda (1961) and she worked memorably with, among others, John Schlesinger, Robert Altman, Truffaut (#Fahrenheit451, 1966), and David Lean. Extraordinary as two bereaved mothers, in Nicolas Roeg's unforgettable #DontLookNow (1973) and Donald Cammell's chilling #DemonSeed (1977).

Remembering #RobertVaughn (1932-2016), the Emmy-winning American film, stage and TV actor, born in New York on this day. Best known as Napoleon Solo in NBC's popular #TheManfromUNCLE (1964-68), he had over 200 screen credits across 7 decades, excelling as suave, slippery characters. Memorable appearances include as the neurosurgeon in Amicus' #TheMindofMrSoames ('70), a murderous millionaire in #Columbo (Troubled Waters, '75) and the voice of malevolent A.I. Proteus IV in #DemonSeed ('77).
