Actress and singer Jane Birkin, who charmed France with her English grace, style and accented French and made the country her home, has died at age 76, according to France's Culture Ministry and French media. The London-born star was widely admired for her fashion style and known for her musical and romantic relationship with French singer Serge Gainsbourg. Their songs notably included the steamy "Je t'aime moi non plus," with Birkin's ethereal, British-accented singing voice interlacing with his gruff baritone. Her many films included roles in 1966’s “Blow-Up” and 1978’s “Death on the Nile.” The star is famously known as the inspiration behind the Birkin bag, a designer purse made by Hermès.
