\n Jane Birkin, the singer and actress who rose to fame in the late 1960s as the lover of Serge Gainsbourg and became a beloved figure in her adopted France, has died. She was 76. <\/p>\n

\n The French culture minister announced the news<\/a> on Sunday following reports in Le Parisien<\/em> newspaper and BFM television that said Birkin had been found dead at her home in Paris. She had suffered a mild stroke in 2021. <\/p>\n

\n Although born in London, Birkin would find fame singing in French, and her duet with Gainsbough on the sexually explicit song \u2018Je t\u2019aime\u2026moi non plus\u2019 (which was banned in several countries). made her a household name around the world. The song was recorded in 1968, just months after the pair \u2014\u00a0Birkin then 22-year-old and Gainsbourg 40 \u2014\u00a0had met on the set of the film Slogan<\/em>, forging a turbulent relationship that would last 13 years and see them become France\u2019s most famous couple. Birkin and Gainsbourg \u2014\u00a0whose notorious rows once saw her throw herself into the River Seine after throwing a custard pie in Gainsbourgh\u2019s face \u2014\u00a0would have a daughter, the actress, singer and director Charlotte Gainsbourg.<\/p>\n

\n \u201cHe and I became the most famous of couples in that strange way because Je t\u2019hime and because we stuck together for 13 years and he went on being my best friend until the day he died,\u201d Birkin told CNN in 2006. <\/p>\n

\n Among Birkin\u2019s acting credits are 1966 classic Blow Up<\/em>, the 1972 adaptation of Death on the Nile<\/em> and 1982\u2019s Evil Under the Sun. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
