âI met Serge through taking a role in a French film called Slogan. To begin with, he didnât like me because my French wasnât very good and heâd been hoping that Marisa Berenson would get my role. Everybody told me he was a mad, bad, dangerous Russian, but after a dinner together I discovered he was very charming. He was still in love with Brigitte Bardot and I was still in love with John (Janeâs first husband), but little by little we healed each otherâs wounds. He was 20 years older than me, but looked much younger. He used to say he loved the ambiguity of my body, a girl that looked like a boy, and with that in mind he made me sing an octave higher.â
