For those of a specific generation, Jane Birkin will always be linked to the breathy ballad Je T’Aime… Moi Non Plus, which has been called “the pop equivalent of an Emmanuelle movie.”
She is well-known because of the Hermès handbag that bears her name, even if you were too young to recall the 1960s.
The price of a Birkin bag is comparable to that of a compact vehicle, and it might be difficult to even get on the waiting list. There are rumors that Victoria Beckham owns more than 100 Birkins in various colors.
Who married Jane Birkin?
John Barry, who wrote the music for several James Bond films and other motion pictures, married Birkin in 1965. When Barry hired Birkin for his musical Passion Flower Hotel, their paths crossed.
Kate Barry, a photographer, was their only child; she was born on April 8, 1967, and passed away on December 11, 2013. The couple divorced in 1968.
What was the age gap between Serge and Jane?
Jane Birkin was 18 years older than Serge Gainsbourg and could spend months without taking a bath, yet she loved him so fervently that she once dove into the Seine to get his attention.
