when Jane Birkin confided in her meeting with Serge Gainsbourg

Jane Birkin’s slender figure has, over the decades, become as famous as her voice, her accent and her acting. However, in her youth, the Briton lived badly with her morphology. “It was such a complex, when they told me I was half boy, half girl”she remembered, facing Bernard Pivot, in December 1992. Her meeting with Serge Gainsbourg changed her vision of herself.

“I was so amazed that he finds me pretty, so amazed that people find me anything”she continued, facing the presenter of “Cultural broth”. From this love, which lasted ten years, between her and Serge Gainsbourg, was born Charlotte Gainsbourg, now 51 years old. Jane Birkin was found dead at her home on July 16, 2023. She was 76 years old.
