Nothing, except a meeting and a rare love affair with Serge Gainsbourg, in 1969; The young actress of the time, wife of British composer John Barry, left rainy England for Paris and France. We will discover her first in the cinema, in Slogan, Gainsbourg’s film little popular with the general public, then in song, with “Je t’aime moi non plus”, first recorded with Bardot, but which she will transform into worldwide tube in whispered and eroticized lyrics.
film and song
There followed a dozen years of collaboration and living together with Gainsbourg, now Gainsbarre, whom she left at the end of the 1970s for the director Jacques Doillon. In the meantime, we have seen her silhouette as slender and graceful, in popular films like those of Claude Zidi, and in certain French cinema, from Varda to Rivette, and Doillon of course.

30 years ago, Gainsbourg got out
“I came to tell you that I’m leaving”… March 2, 1991, Serge Gainsbourg leaves this time without warning. A heart attack, lightning, while he is at home, alone, in Paris. “The man with the cabbage head” is 62 years old.
She didn’t give up on music either with Gainsbourg, even though he wrote her most beautiful songs (ex-sixties fan…) and she wrote the best covers of his hits. From collaborations (with Souchon in particular) to covers (the superb album “On n’est pas là pour se faire engueuler” of covers by Vian), Jane Birkin has delivered a unique and personal, unforgettable repertoire.
An artist at heart, she was also the mother of Kate Barry, a renowned photographer, and actresses Charlotte Gainsbourg (with whom she appeared, diminished, during the last Cesar ceremony).
