Jane Birkin – 76

Due to her health, we haven’t lately seen model, actress, and singer Jane Birkin at any public events. Jane, the inspiration for the renowned “Birkin” handbag, won the hearts of the French at the age of 21 as the personification of London’s 1960s cool. Unfortunately, she was identified as having leukemia in 2002 and had to undergo many rounds of chemotherapy. She just experienced a stroke, but she is currently recovering. She has published her autobiography and currently resides in Paris.
