Early-life:
Charlotte Lucy Gainsbourg was born on July 21, 1971 in London to English actress and singer Jane Birkin and French actor and singer-songwriter Serge Gainsbourg. Due to her parents' fame for their work and media attention for their turbulent relationship, Charlotte's childhood was highly publicised. She is the half-sister of Lucien, Natacha and Paul on her father's side and, on her mother's side, actress Lou Doillon and fashion photographer Kate Barry.
Career:
Gainsbourg made her film debut in the French film Paroles et Musique (1984). Cement Garden (1993) was the first English-speaking film she appeared in. Since then, she has played parts in Jane Eyre (1996), 21 Grams (2003) and The Science of Sleep (2006). She has also worked in Lars Von Trier's films Antichrist (2009), Melancholia (2011) and Nymphomaniac (2013). Besides acting, Gainsbourg has a singing career. She released her first album in 1986, with her father Serge, and released her next three albums more than 20 years later.

Deneuve's first film was 1957's Les Collegiennes, but she didn't become a major star until 1964's The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. Cult classics such as Roman Polanski's Repulsion (1965), Louis Bunuel's surrealist masterpiece Belle de Jour (1967) and vampire thriller The Hunger (1983) made her globally famous. She won Cesar awards (France's version of the Oscar) for her performances in 1981's Le Dernier Metro and 1992's Indochine. She also received an Academy Award nomination for the latter. She continues to make films and always has a number of projects in the pipeline.
