She already sang on tv,
en duo with Jacques Higelin, before she debuted on vinyl as a singer. Gorgeous
Isabelle Adjani was a very succesful actress in France when Serge, inbetween his own filming career, wrote a whole album for her with tragic lovesongs;
Pull Marine. It features very Gainsbourgian titles like
Beau Oui Come Bowie and
Entre Autre pas en Traitre. At the same time, Serge wrote 11 songs for Jane too, which probably is why a lot of the songs sound a bit the same. The title track
Pull Marine was a huge chart-success, thanks to the surreal
videoclip made by Luc Besson.
Adjani's best known films outside France are
Camille Claudel,
La Reine Margot (her best) and
Diabolique. She was nominated for an Oscar in 1981 (for Truffaut's
L'Histoire d'Adèle H.) and had tempestuous relationships with Daniel-Day Lewis and Jean-Michel Jarre - the latter cheated on her with actress Anne Parillaud. I think she made an album as well...

Hi
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThis is a very nice idea the singing Actresses theme and i am enjoying your posts.
You mentioned Anne Parillaud made an album, well i don't know if she can sing or not but she sure is a gorgeous lady and on the subject of gorgeous ladies perhaps something by Gillian Hills would be nice.
Thanks
YEYEOHYEAH
