(Vanessa Paradis can currently be seen in Chanel's Rouge Coco lipstick and Coco Cocoon handbag campaigns). Her first English-language album, the self-titled Vanessa Paradis (1992), was co-written and produced by Lenny Kravitz. But for the rest of the 1990s, Vanessa Paradis turned the bulk of her attention to acting and concluded the decade with perhaps her most acclaimed turn in Patrice Leconte's 1999 film La fille sur le pont (Girl on the Bridge).
