English-born singer and actress Jane Birkin died in France on Sunday, July 16, at age 76.

 

Watch Anthony Mason’s Jan. 21, 2018 “Sunday Morning” interview with Birkin in which she discusses her life and career, including her partnership with French singer-composer Serge Gainsbourg, and the stylish Hermes bag named after her.

When asked if she minded being remembered for the famous Birkin bag she inspired she replies, in typical fashion, “It could be worse!’

Bonne nuit, Ms. Birkin.
