Actress and singer Charlotte Gainsbourg is the daugher of French lothario Serge Gainsbourg and English actress and singer Jane Birkin, who are best known for their racy duet "Je t'aime… moi non plus". She started acting at just 13, and released an album Charlotte For Ever just two years later (with music written by her father). Thereafter she concentrated on theatre, television and film, while occasionally providing backing vocals or guest appearances for other musicians. In 2006, she returned to music with 5:55, her first album in twenty years. It featured production by Nigel Godrich (well-known as Radiohead's favourite producer), and guest appearances from Air and Jarvis Cocker. The album was hugely successful in France, topping the album chart and being widely praised by critics.
In September 2007, Charlotte Gainsbourg was rushed to hospital for emergency surgery after suffering a brain haemorrhage.
