| Billy Liar (1963) | Julie Christie
"She smokes in three scenes. There is a nice exhale in an extended sequence
as she walks around town holding a cigarette. Later she drags on the last
fraction of an inch. She lights up and takes three drags on a train,
holding her cigarette beween thumb and forefinger, with her tongue coming
forward in appreciation before she exhales. For my money she was an IRL at
the time."

Julie Christie - Info - "Her real debut came in [Billy Liar (1963)], where she made a spectacular entrance. It still looks good: she is filmed walking through town in a white blouse, jacket and short skirt, swinging a bag and smoking a cigarette while her fingers run along metal railings and her face registers a succession of smiles, frowns, grimaces and little bursts of song.", The Independent (UK), Jan. 26, '08
