With his trademark image as the unshaven, unkempt, narrow-eyed, cigarette-clutching artist, SERGE GAINSBOURG (b. Paris, 1928; d. Mar. 2, 1991) was the composer, actor, director, singer, and writer whose sexy pop hits introduced counterculture into the French mainstream in the 60's and 70's. He married British actress Jane Birkin (pictured here), who sang a number of his songs.
