Jane Birkin emerged in the swinging '60s in London, starring as one of the models in Blowup (1966). In 1968, Birkin went to France to audition and got the role in "Slogan". She would play alongside Serge Gainsbourg. She sang the theme song for "Slogan" with Gainsbourg which became their first of many musical collaborations.In 1969, she and Serge Gainsbourg released the song "Je t'aime... moi non plus" ("I love you... me neither"), written initially for Brigitte Bardot (the recording was released only in the seventies), by Gainsbourg and featuring both of them singing, which caused a scandal for its sexual explicitness. Arguably due in part to the publicity it got from being banned by radio stations in Italy, Spain, and the UK, it was a commercial success all over Europe. The song's fame is a result of its salacious lyrics (sung in French), culminating in an orgasm. Birkin took a break from acting in 1971-72, but returned as Brigitte Bardot's lover in Don Juan (or if Don Juan were a woman) in 1973. In 1975, she appeared in Gainsbourg's first film, also entitled Je t'aime... moi non plus, which created a stir for frank examination of sexual ambiguity. For this performance she was nominated for a Best Actress César Award.She had a passionate and creative relationship with her mentor Serge Gainsbourg — they married in 1968. They separated in 1980. Their daughter is a famous French actress named Charlotte Gainsbourg.
