PARIS, July 16 (Reuters) - British-born actress and singer Jane Birkin, a 1960s wildchild who became a beloved figure in France, has died in Paris aged 76.

The French Culture Ministry said the country had lost a "timeless Francophone icon".

Local media reported she had been found dead at her home, citing people close to her. Birkin had a mild stroke in 2021 after suffering heart problems in previous years.

^ Lovely!. I remember years ago (like.. maybe 15 years ago?!!) when I thought I had seen all of Jane's photos that ever made it to the internet lol, and I was probably not wrong, but glad to see more material has been brought in ever since, especially after her passing.. there are so many photos and looks I had never seen (like the one above, and all the times she brought her Portuguese basket to evening events ). She was pretty on the outside but always showed such a pragmatic and sensible take on life and all its concepts (justice, beauty, love, art, even death) that it came across as modest and relatable and it made her even more beautiful and fascinating.

Still sad she's gone, I hope she had time to finish the rest of her memoirs.

*eta: justaguy, would you be able to merge this thread with the older (giant) one, please??
