Actress of the 60's (It's a Crowded One!)

Earlier in this blog I posted who I thought the male actor of the 60's. My choice was Paul Newman. Now it is time to pick the actress of the decade. And incredibly, this is a hard one! But before I explain why here is a fact: Film historian Molly Haskal in her book "From Revelence to Rape" said that the 1960's was the worst decade for movie actresses. Really? How can you not admire some of the things they did? Now on to this. There are so many to pick from. If there's anyone out there that is reading this, I'm giving you a contest. This contest is pick one actress from the list as the 60's female performer. Here are the candidates:

Julie Christie

All you need to do is e-mail me at Nonihead7038@aol.com. Then give me your vote for 60's female actress among the seven. After three days I'll close the voting and whoever got the most votes is the one that I'll profile in the next posting. Is that easy? I pick male actor of the 60's; now it's your turn to choose actress of the 60's for me.
