I think she’s Italian, and I think the pic is from the 70s or 80s.

I’m pretty sure it’s not Julie Christie which is who I’m being told it is.  
Thanks!

[Yep. Scroll down to “Film Stills.”](http://www.moviemail.com/film/dvd/Dont-Look-Now/)

She does look a lot like Annabella Sciorra in that shot, though.

Here’s Julie Christie in Don’t Look Now, I don’t think it’s the same person (even though the clothes are the same and the wallpaper is similar)

It’s absolutely Julie Christie from _Don’t Look Now_ ([NYT link](http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/05/movies/nicolas-roegs-dont-look-now-plays-at-the-ifc-center.html?_r=0)). Fantastic film, BTW.

The film still section of the link has the exact image used in the OP (although the OP’s version is flipped horizontally).

It’s also kind of a fucked up movie. I posted a thread about it years ago. All I could remember about it was the daughter drowning, and the dwarf in the red raincoat. I saw it as a kid, and it freaked me out.

_Don’t Look Now_ was a British-Italian production and set in Venice, so that might explain why the O.P. thought she was Italian.
