Jane Birkin, and if charm and prettiness was better than beauty ? Born for fame in the Britain of Swinging London, it is in France that the young Brit will achieve most of her career with her ultra slim boyish silhouette and without much of a singing voice. However those two issues did not prevent the diaphanous girl to achieve an elegant double career of singer and actress, successfully selling many records, thanks to Serge Gainsbourg. Jane was his muse and the love of his life. They worked together for decades. Now almost seventy years old Jane stills performs songs written for her many years ago by the artist. Make-up wise, Jane offers a radical version of less is more. This is nude before nude, Miss Birkin, charms through simplicity, with her broad smile and (this is not visible in her photos) her strong British accent when she speaks french even after nearly 50 years spent living in France. For those who refuse the efforts of sophistication, Jane leads as an example, and she once said: “Taking care of yourself, that is madness !”
