Jane Birkin

Jane Mallory Birkin, OBE, a British-French actress, singer, and designer, rose to international prominence in the 1960s through her decade-long musical and romantic collaboration with Serge Gainsbourg. Her screen career spanned French cinema and notable English-language films like Blowup, Death on the Nile, Evil Under the Sun, and A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries. Birkin's personal life was as vibrant as her professional one, raising photographer Kate Barry with composer John Barry and actress and musician Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lou Doillon with Serge Gainsbourg and Jacques Doillon respectively.
