Doesn't anyone else think it's odd for the same actress to play both Linda and Clarisssa?

Truffaut was able to secure financing of the movie on the strength of casting Julie Christie, who was in demand at the time.
However, when it came to casting Clarissa, they couldn't find the right actress until someone suggested using Christie as a flip side of Linda.
