Facts from biography

Charlotte Ginzburg is a native of the British capital, she was born on July 21, 1971. Her father - the famous poet, actor, composer Serge Ginsburg was an icon of style and an idol of the 70s of last century. However, the mother of the future star - Jane Birkin was a popular actress and singer. The novel of parents of Charlotte Ginzburg lasted for many years, and for the representatives of aristocratic beau monde the news about the disintegration of the family became a real shock.
