Thank you for this delicate portrait of Jane Birkin. She was a woman who couldn’t sing, but sang beautifully; couldn’t act, but acted beautifully. She was a woman who overcame her fears and lived beautifully ✨✨✨
Jane era linda charmosa ela junto só serge formava um casal lindo e charmoso.🇧🇷
Jane era de uma beleza natural linda 🇧🇷
Such a natural beauty with simple, elegant style-
Yes, so her bag becoming a luxury seems quite wrong.
She was just herself. I really liked her for that reason
In spite of cruel childhood teasing, she triumphed.🏆
who cares ripping people off on hand bags
What’s so amazing is that Jane had a style that was so timeless. Her iconic hairstyle would hold up well throughout the decades since.
LMAO REALLY?
@@sammyocgirl7411 I was starting to lose hope that people had begun to use far less intellectual forms of communication. Thank you, OCgirl for that insightful perspective. The knowledge that one has in fact laughed their ass off cannot be articulated quite enough.
@@sophienoel26 honey no one cares about you or JANE... you drank the cool aide
over priced hand bags poor people trying to look rich,,,, sorry I am rich and can give a rats butt about expensive hand bags
@@sammyocgirl7411 and yet, here you are watching and with an awful lot of say 🤨🧐
Jane Birkin strikes me as a person with a kind of joie de vivre. She lived in the moment and had amazing opportunities open up to her while simply being herself and living her life. I can appreciate her style influence. It’s very contemporary and continues to influence to this day. Well done Jane! Rest In Peace.
She is dead dans "la joie de vivre " n'est-ce pas, all alone.
One of the most beautiful women of all times!
RIP Jane
Ne rien exagérer. Mignonne dans sa jeunesse, et une vieillesse bien peu soignée. Une vie est un tout.
N'importe quoi, elle était une très jolie poupée jeune, vraiment magnifique. Et dans sa vieillesse, elle était lumineuse.
@@PetiteLicorne Je vous laisse à vos admirations !
J'aime quant à moi les femmes soignées jusqu'au bout. Les hommes aussi d'ailleurs.
Jane came along at the right time. Her style still holds up today. Blessings to her family. Thanks for the lovely video. 💓💐🕊️ 🌈💫
She was an icon and very beautiful
Jane made such a positive impact in the arts on all different levels and especially in fashion! Being just two years younger than her, I followed her career from the beginning and when I was a NYC fashion illustrator! The summer of 69 I remember when I was in Europe what a huge hit, "J'taime, moi non plus" was along with Tina Turner's hit song, "Proud Mary'! Carnaby Street in London was a very colorful place to be back then! I ended up with three daughters myself, but lost my middle one to Covid in 2020. So I could relate to her in some ways! Rest in peace, she is a most beautiful angel on the Other Side, our spiritual home now!💔♥
What impact did she ACTUALLY HAVE?? I am not trying to be ugly, but I feel like we are giving praise to someone that just.....showed up and was pretty and able to be molded through her older partners. I don't mean to offend anyone, but I just don't get it.
What an interesting life you yourself have lived. I also love Jane, and listened to her music.
@melissabrecht6311 She was a model and actress during the 60s, and was a fashion icon, a Hermès bag is named after her, the Birkin. She had a hit song. She was part of the Swinging Sixties in London that had Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton, Jane Asher, and Patti Boyd. You have to remember back then, there was no social media. She definitely was not a Kardashian, she worked just as hard. Swinging London was a part of the youth culture that was a counterpart to LA's Laurel Canyon and San Francisco.
@@melissabrecht6311 Her music had a huge impact at the time. And she blazed the trail to a more natural look for women. When she came to popularity, women were still spraying, teasing, pinning, tottering on high heels. She made straight hair and bangs sexy and not just for preteens. I guess you had to be there.
So sorry for your loss💔
This is a very well done documentary. You have a talent for film making.
Excellent video. She was a beauty and an icon. I loved it when she dressed in Chanel and stunned everyone as she walked down the stairs at the end of "Evil Under the Sun."
lol at beauty and ICON good lord
Always has and always will be one of my biggest fashion inspirations!! She is classic and unique all in one! Absolutely beautiful 🥰
yopu drank the coolaid dear
@@sammyocgirl7411 not quite sure what you mean by that, but whatever
She's so beautiful and iconic
A lovely film (as always) of a beautiful 60s icon. Au revoir Jane Birkin.
Punaise ! Elle était vraiment magnifique ! Et sa mère était sublime ! ❤
She was beautiful.
Yes, inside, and out
To me Jane Birkin in the 60's was to film what Francoise Hardy was to music❤
"Tous les garçons et les filles" ~ I remember it well...
Françoise is very ill now, she is at the end of her life.
What a wonderful comparison! I adore them both ❤️
When I saw the images of Jane in her younger days, I immediately thought of her contemporary Francoise Hardy, with whom I was more familiar. The hair!
@@zyzzyvacation
Thank you for telling me...I did not know that.
What a beautiful lady all the way up till she died she was very pretty Thank you very much for letting me see this video very well done I liked it a lot thank you again
Thankyou - beautifully done. Jane was in front of a camera, whether performing or stemming from her public profile, for over five decades. She appeared very relaxed and natural while looking into a camera lens.
Her final ensemble" in Evil Under the Sun was amazing. That whole movie was so fun for the fashion collections.
My mum had that exact same egg shape cane bag with the swivel lid that Jane is seen wearing in many photos.
She’s such an icon
lol really for WHAT?
@@sammyocgirl7411 - Yours seem to be the only negative comments here. You either weren't around at the time, (too young, may be not born yet) or have forgotten her influence. She may not have been as well known in the US, either. But you have the right to your opinion, only you don't have many minds like yours.
@@JaanaG2005 i dont live my life around Celebs.
Thank you for a beautiful tribute. ❤
lol who cares she is nothing special
Passed away from yesterday.
Merci d'avoir fait honneur à Jane Birkin, artiste. Chanteuse, actrice, trés apprécieé par le public. D,une ģrâce, gentillesse , simplicité et d'une grande générosité.On la regrette tellement, elle restera dans nos souvenirs pour toujours. ❤
Rest in Peace Jane Birkin.
Wow never heard of her but timeless beauty
RIP JANE BIRKIN ♥
Que agradable ver su video sobre la vida de Jane Birkin, un icono de la moda y el cine francés . Su estilo elegante y sencillo a la vez a trascendido en el tiempo. Descansa en Paz Jane Birkin.
JANE BIRKIN "the dream in the drawer" and in the THOUGHTS of all the boys of that time: her very sweet and sensual voice given to us when in 1969 she imprinted on vinyl the few phrases of the song JE T'AIME ... she made the world fall in love whole and not just the male one. She had CHARM and possessed a NIGHTMARE BEAUTY!!! She was also a successful woman in the arts for a good decade. I sincerely hope to be able to meet her BEAUTIFUL and HAPPY again in her new home and sing with her and endlessly a hymn that will vehemently make all the souls of heaven gasp: “JE T’AIME”…!!! 💔❤
Marvelous.
This is so wonderful! Ty!
Thank you!!! I’m so glad you enjoyed
Jane Super stars world woman models!!!!!! Magnifigue!!!!!!!🌹🌹
Timeless and iconic!
You did a magnificent job in this vignette about her legacies. Thank you.
Thank you so much!!
Well done! I enjoyed it…❤
The Jane Birkin Bags are soo beautiful i buy one of them very expensive like Chanel.⚘🌹🙏
I always loved the Jane B. and Serge...
RIP Jane, thank you for your legacy in fashion.
This was lovely to watch x
She‘s so cute❤️one of my faves👌
So beautiful.
Amazing!❤
Lovely
Loved the narration! You are a natural for this! Best wishes, and good work in future awaits.
Amazing video! Thank you. So informative
Very nicely done. Background music is also nice. Jane was special.
Thank you for this. The story was well told, with lots of excellent photos, although I suppose it is not that difficult to find good photos when the subject is Jane Birkin! The most interesting tidbit about her that was new to me here was that her mom was the muse of Noel Coward.
Thanks. A really good video!
Jane Birkin just had 'It'. All the photos and films show her as the natural-born muse she was. I loved the story of the most famous ballad with Brigitte Bardot and the origin of the iconic Hermes bag. Ironically enough, her long-time favourite was a humble basket bought at a London market. Jane Birkin channeled the cool spirit of Swinging London and took it to another level in France. ❤
I am so happy I found this channel.
Happy to have you here!!
Thanks 🩷
I didn’t know much about Jane, but I love her style . Well done. Tfs
I would like to see a series on the fifth avenue swans. Babe paley, slim and the rest of Truman’s girls.
We put that in the kitchen with some vegetables inside.
Thanks for your video
Superbe jeune femme !
Beautiful woman. ❤
La più bella in assoluto
She was amazing, gorgeous. Classic beauty ❤😢
lol
@@sammyocgirl7411
Hmmm, you sound quite bitter…
@@anniechart lol at bitter sure hun thats is I cant believe all the people that care about celebs...
I didn't realize she had died until the end of this video.
Astrid Gilberto a few weeks ago, Raquel Welch before, the avalanch has begun....
I just wanted to remember the beautiful Jane Birkin on what would have been her 77th birthday (14/12). 💝
Hello Faith your voice is very pleasant
What a pity.. My favorite actress. Bright memory.
A Kind of fairy butterfly person...
Could you do videos on the homes of Gloria Guinness and Babe Paley?
Does anyone remember..when her and Serge Gainsbourg recorded ,,Je taime moi non plus,,a beautiful song for some so called respectful Nation ,banned the Song.in the radio waves...once un my house i played the CD and my guests sad ,but is an eròtic song...if they understood french in Essex....?
And i replied..but no one complains abour mysic CDs with parental advisory..the usual hipocrisy.
Rest in Peace Jane Birkin.
Play je time moi non plus
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
IN MOST EVERY PHOTOGRAPH I HAVE EVER SEEN OF JANE BIRKIN SHE'S DRESSED VERY SIMPLY WEARING A STRAW ROUND BASKET BAG. NEVER A BIRKIN BAG.
@bethennyfrankle I know you will love this with the history of the Genesis of your beloved Birkin Bag ❤
It is so amazing that she was English although she looked hornily french when she was young.
Gainsbourg was seducted by her because she looked so exotic for a French (her sweet English accent)
Rest In Peace....😢
Jane Birkin was the it-girl in the 70's too.
🔥 🕊 🔥
😇 🙏 😇
Omg i.didn't realize she just died a couple days ago!!!
That face propelled her into notoriety
Tre chic
I loved this video however it did not highlight Jane's huge modeling career!
dakota johnson is like her and played the same character lmao
Some people have a fairytale life.
RIP
Jimmy Page at 7:56
Her style has become classic, but was not at the time, proof that elegance doesn't mean conservatism.
People are so sloppy now compared to the past. Imho.
Beautiful lady. I think he’s in two pictures without a ciggie.
Serge without a cigarette?
Impossible!
Now it's forbidden on French TV.
Brigitte Bardot.....no Bridget. 😉
Blimey...I didn't know she had just died. If only girls now would emulate her style rather than all the false hood of plastic nails, lashes and plastered on make up
What did Jane Birken die from? What happened to her two surviving children after her death?
@suzannelawson9215 Charlotte Gainsbourg had her own career as an actor and artist. Lou Doillon is a singer-songwriter and guitarist. Both daughters are known internationally, in an 'indie' sort of fashion. /After Serge's death, Jane and her three daughters participated in a family interview on French tv. There was great interest in his life and music amongst the French. It was quite moving to watch if you are able to find that.
Did she get the clot shot too😢
@@saschaesken5524 Oh yes! 76 is very young for someone who had such a healthy physique and fulfilled and social life.
@@saschaesken5524
It keeps happening???
She had leucemia 20 years ago, she survived but she stated to have a bad health, Leucemia came back in 2013, as she lost her mother, she said "I probably have only 10 years to live now", and it was true. She lost her daughter Kate. She got a stroke in 2021, and her health has been awfully bad since. She wanted to make a singing tour in France, as she was really hoping to recover. She could walk again, so she asked her nurse to not sleep in her house, she wanted to be independant again. But the first night with no nurse at home, she was found dead the day after by her nurse.
Funny to see so many thin people in the pictures. We have become such an unhealthy culture through the decades.
We lost Tina Turner, Jean-Louis Murat and now Birkin, that's a bad year.
small talent but bonked with the right guys
Giant persona. The right guys
got very lucky
Je suis très triste..
Un être humain est un tout. Je pense que cette femme est une mauvaise mère : elle a laissé sa petite fille chanter "Lemon incest " avec son père allongé, à moitié nu dans un lit. Puis Charlotte a osé des scènes dégoûtantes dans un film de Lars von Trier et même pour "L'Effrontée " une scène scabreuse n'a pas été diffusée.
Kate s'est suicidée.
Elle-même était seule pour mourir.
On ne laisse pas seule une femme de cet âge aussi visiblement atteinte. Pas une, pas un dans sa famille pour une présence, ou même un appel au téléphone, un message pour prendre des nouvelles ! C'est l'aide- soignante qui l'a découverte... le lendemain.
She was very beautiful and I liked her taste in fashon. Very laid back but still very chic.
Take a look at the current state of the world. 2 Timothy 4:1-5 states "You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. People will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!" Jesus is coming. Are you prepared?
Love your comment!❤️💖 yes the current state of the world is a horrible one, very sad!!! God bless❤️
That dude is ugly, she is gorgeous, but his music was everything, Beauty and the Beast
I had not heard of her even though l am well informed.Sad.She sounds terrific.
Yes, it seems there are quite a few beautiful girls who were attracted to these "ugly" French men. Like Jean Paul Belmondo. They were also very talented, so attractive in that way. Plus you can't explain love!
The dude is ugly by a genius.
Maybe you're too young Lynn.
A beautiful presence,pity about her her ersatz lefty politics but then, no one is perfect.
Jane was beautiful, Serge Gainsbourg was alike a toad😮...I don't understand why most of women fall in love for him
Seductive voice and persona I would guess. He must have been a skilled lover. They stayed together for 12 years and had two children.
Bardot too , Lucky guy
@@proudcynophile1901only Charlotte... she had two other daughters: Kate Barry and Lou Doillon. Serge Gainsbourg had 3 other children: a daughter and a son of a first marriage who stayed very private and an other son with Bambou: Lucien Gainsbourg: Lulu.
@@evelynegrasset3265 Who is Lou Doillon's father?
@@JRspeaking Jacques Doillon, a French film director.
Me aburro en La Piscine. No sabia como actuar. Como dice en Ingles... era miscast.
MTF!!
La verdad... No era nada especial.
She was very special.
ICON ❤
