In 1968, the 40-year-old Gainsbourg met 22-year-old English actress and model Jane Birkin on the set of the film Slogan.
On their first night alone together, he took her on a tour of Paris clubs, including a transvestite bar, and fell asleep drunk. They were married within a year.
After a turbulent 13-year-long relationship, Jane Birkin left Gainsbourg. Gainsbourg was a complicated guy, outwardly arrogant and lecherous, but also introverted and wildly intelligent.
He died on March 2, 1991 of a heart attack.
