Jeanne Balibar at the Cannes Film Festival last year: 'I wanted to experience what it was like to play those chords and to understand why they are there...' Photo: Richard Mowe With her strong physical resemblance to the legendary French chanteuse Barbara, Jeanne Balibar must have seemed an obvious candidate to take the role in any project evoking the singer’s extraordinary career which began in the 1950s with songs by Brel and Brassens before making her name with her own music such as L’aigle Noir (Black Eagle) and Ma Plus Belle Histoire d’Amour, C’est Nous (You Are My Most Beautiful Love Story).
Barbara (real name Monique Serf) was born on June 9, 1930, in Paris. She studied the piano and voice as a teenager, but dropped out of the Paris Music Conservatory to make her own way as a singer at the age of 19.
