Jane Birkin

English actress Jane Birkin enjoyed a successful career in British and French cinema but achieved international recognition through her decade-long relationship with Serge Gainsbourg. 

Even after their separation, Birkin thrived as an actress and singer, starring in independent films like "Red Fox" and "A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries." Most notably, she lent her name to a Hermès bag after expressing her struggle to find a leather weekend bag she liked.
