A bit of a It-girl during the swinging sixties she appeared in two of the defining movies of the era: Richard Lester’s “The Knack ... and how to get it“ and Antonioni’s “Blow Up“. She then married movie scores composer John Barry and had a daughter, photographer Kate Barry. After splitting from John Barry she relocated to France were she met Serge Gainsbourg who was himself recovering from his own split from Brigitte Bardot. One of the most legendary and sexually charged artistic collaborations of the late 20th Century followed, with Jane playing the Beauty to Serge’s Beast on records, most infamously “Je T’Aime ... Moi Non-Plus“ originally written for and performed by Bardot but banned by Bardot herself, in movies and in French newspapers and TV shows.
