La Roller Girl






It's time for another one of Gainsbourg's girls, or rather Godard's - Anna Karina. She started out as a Danish model but made a name for herself as an actor in french Nouvelle vague movies directed by Godard. Read more here and here.

Serge Gainsbourg, of course, made her sing a little too. Their great song Rollergirl can be found here on the wonderful blog called Spiked Candy specialized in french 60's pop, ye-ye girls and so on.

UPDATE: Mr Bedazzled - Spike Priggen - sent me this song he wrote about Anna Karina some 20 years ago. Thanks Spike!
