British-born
photographer Kate Barry, daughter of the actor and singer Jane
Birkin, has died after
falling from the window of her fourth-floor Paris flat.
Her
body was found around 6.30pm on Wednesday on the pavement outside her
home in the 16th arrondissement.
Barry,
46, was Birkin's eldest daughter and was born in London. Her father
was the British composer John Barry, best known for his film music
including the James Bond theme and Out of Africa. He died in 2011.
Her
parents separated shortly after she was born in 1967, and Birkin
moved to France where she brought up her daughter with the French
singer Serge Gainsbourg, and later the film director Jacques Doillon.
Barry
carved out a name for herself as a fashion photographer, but in
France remained less famous than her actor half-sisters, Charlotte
Gainsbourg and Lou Doillon. Barry once said she preferred to remain
behind the scenes.
"At
first, I was better known because of my family: my mother, my
stepfather, my father, my sisters … now I hope I'm known a bit more
for my own work," Barry said.
She
was thought to have been alone in the flat, where antidepressants
were reportedly found by police, who have launched an inquiry into
her death. The door to her flat was locked from the inside.
