TORONTO — Screen legend Robert Redford says it took some serious convincing to get Julie Christie to sign on to his new film “The Company You Keep.”
In an interview Sunday at the Toronto International Film Festival, Redford said he was captivated by Christie’s performance in Sarah Polley’s 2006 movie “Away from Her” and wanted her for his new movie.
Even though he didn’t know the “Dr. Zhivago” star personally, Redford says he felt a bond with Christie because they broke out at the same time.
“She and I had similar attention as actors in the early ‘70s ... I felt this kind of kinship, not knowing her,” said the 76-year-old.
