Jane Mallory Birkin (14 December 1946 – 16 July 2023)

Jane Mallory Birkin was born in London in December 1946, daughter of British actress Judy Campbell and Royal Navy commander David Birkin.

She had lived in her adopted France since the late 1960s and apart from her singing and roles in dozens of films, she was a popular figure for her warm nature, stalwart fight for women's and LGBT rights.

She first took to the stage aged 17 and went on to appear in the 1965 musical "Passion Flower Hotel" by conductor and composer John Barry, whom she married shortly after. The marriage ended in the late 1960s.

Before venturing across the Channel aged 22, she achieved notoriety in the controversial 1966 Michelangelo Antonioni film "Blow-Up", appearing naked in a threesome sex scene.

But it was in France that she truly shot to fame, as much for her love affair with tormented national star Gainsbourg, as for her tomboyish style and endearing British accent when speaking French.

It was on the set of the film "Slogan" in 1969 that Birkin first met Gainsbourg, who was recovering from a break-up with Brigitte Bardot, and the two quickly began a love affair that captivated the nation.

That same year they released "Je T'Aime... Moi Non Plus" ("I Love You... Me Neither"), a song about physical love originally written for Bardot in which Gainsbourg's explicit lyrics are punctuated with breathy moans and cries from Birkin.

The song was banned by the BBC and condemned by the Vatican.

Following the breakup of that relationship in 1981, she continued her career as a singer and actress, appearing on stage and releasing albums such as "Baby Alone in Babylone" in 1983, and "Amour des Feintes" in 1990, both with words and music by Gainsbourg.

Gainsbourg's drinking eventually got the better of the relationship, and Birkin left him in 1981 to live with film director Jacques Doillon. However she remained close to the troubled singer until his death in March 1991.

It was around this time that she inspired the famous Birkin bag by French luxury house Hermes, after chief executive Jean-Louis Dumas saw her struggling with her straw bag on a flight to London, spilling the contents over the floor.

She wrote her own album "Arabesque" in 2002, and in 2009 released a collection of live recordings, "Jane at the Palace".

She is survived by two daughters the singer and actress Charlotte, born in 1971, and Lou Doillon, also an actress, born in 1982. She also had a daughter, Kate, who was born in 1967 and died in 2013.

Je t'aime moi non plus (1976)

[mtonino]

La canzone venne incisa nel 1967 da Gainsbourg con Brigitte Bardot. La loro relazione, durata tre mesi, aveva scatenato l’ira funesta del di lei marito, quindi l’attrice chiese a Serge di non pubblicare il duetto che rimarrà inedito per quasi 20 anni nella sua versione originale. L’autore cercò un’altra interprete finché sul set di un film, Slogan di Pierre Grimblat, conobbe Jane Birkin con la quale ebbe un litigio furibondo a inizio riprese. Grimblat propose una cena a tre per appianare il conflitto, poi con uno stratagemma fece in modo che i due restassero da soli e scattò la scintilla. Anzi no: un fuoco divorante.

Je t'aime ... moi non plus - Brigitte Bardot & Serge Gainsbourg

Serge wrote this song for Brigitte when he was pursuing her and they recorded it in 1967 (reportedly in a steamy two-hour session in the vocal booth). Brigitte had second thought about the explicit nature of the song and she asked Serge to not release it.

In 1969 Serge released a new version that he recorded with Jane Birkin and this version became a huge controversial hit (banned by BBC radio, the Vatican and radio stations in many countries).

In 1986 Brigitte released the original version to raise fund for her animal charity.
