Julie Christie's secret Indian wedding at the age of 66

London, Jan 30 (UNI) Finally the wedding bells rang for Hollywood actress Julie Christie and she secretly married her long-time partner, journalist Duncan Campbell in India.

The 66-year-old Oscar-nominated actress recently told her only brother Clive that the pair, who have been together 28 years, held the ceremony in India two months ago.

Clive Christie, a retired university lecturer confirmed yesterday that the wedding had taken place, as reported by the Daily Mail today today.

Miss Christie earned her Oscar nomination, and has already won the Screen Actors' Guild Award for Best Actress, for her poignant portrayal of an Alzheimer's sufferer in ''Away From Her''.

It was in 1965 that she won her first Oscar for the John Schlesinger film ''Darling'' , although her most famous performances were in ''Dr Zhivago'', also 1965, and ''Don't Look Now'' in 1973.

She turned her back on Hollywood in the Seventies when her affair with Warren Beatty ended. She has since described being a celebrity as ''like always having chewing gum stuck in your hair''.
