As an actress she is best known for her roles in Blow Up (in which she the first actress to show pubic hair in a mainstream British movie), La Belle Noiseuse, and as Briggitte Bardot's lover in Don Juan (Or If Don Juan Were a Woman). She is also known as Serge Gainsbourg's muse. Together they some beautiful music ("Je t'aime... moi non plus," which was banned for Birkin's simulated orgasm), as well as a beautiful daughter (actress Charlotte Gainsbourg).
