Julie Christie

[Doug Henwood]

Ok, so what's Julie Christie's story? First, I noticed an ad in New Left
Review a few months back promoting a Communist Mannifesto event she was
MC'ing. Then she shows up in David Macey's bio of Foucault as a frequent
guest at MF's Paris pad ("where more than one visitor noticed the cannabis
plants nestled among the petunias"); though she was there mainly because
she was a friend of Foucault's long-time companion, Daniel Defert, Michel
still "carefully prepared vegetarian meals" for her. And now she's listed
as a co-sponsor of the Brecht Forum's Manifesto celebration in New York
City this November.

What's this all about?
