The King and Queen of jolie laide couples, Jane Birkin and
Serge Gainsbourg, had a chemistry that was palpable.
It all began on the set of the 1969 film
Slogan
that launched several sexy duets and an 11-year affair. The satirical
romp tells the story of a philandering director who falls for a doe-eyed
English rose on a visit to Venice. Birkin won the role opposite her
future lover despite not speaking a word of francais. It all
ends badly of course (on screen and in life) but just think, if it wasnt
for Slogan thered be no Birkin bag.
Quelle horreur!
