Who was Jane Birkin?
Jane Birkin also known as Jane Mallory Birkin was an English-French singer and actress.
Born in London in December 1946 to Judy Campbell and David Birkin, the actress found fame — and a lifelong home — in France after moving to Paris to work on the movie Slogan when she was 20, according to CNN.
On the set of the 1968 film, she met and coupled up with the film’s star, French actor and singer-songwriter Serge Gainsbourg.
Later that same year, Birkin and Gainsbourg — who became a nationwide French fascination — collaborated on the actress’s most well-known song, s3xually suggestive duet “Je T’Aime… Moi Non Plus,” which translates to “I Love You… Me Neither.”
In a 2006 interview with CNN, Birkin reflected on her very public relationship with the singer, a connection that catapulted her into the French spotlight.
“He and I became the most famous of couples in that strange way because of ‘Je t’aime’ and because we stuck together for 13 years,” she told the outlet of her former flame, who died in 1991. “And he went on being my friend until the day he died. Who could ask for more? So Paris became my home. I’ve been adopted here.”
Despite her British roots, the singer became a fashion icon in France in the 1960s and ‘70s, inspiring the creation of one of the most expensive and highly sought-after luxury bags in the world — the Birkin bag by French luxury design house Hermès.
