Video: Charlotte Gainsbourg and Beck performing "Heaven Can Wait" on KCRW

By Rip Empson You may know Charlotte Gainsbourg as the stunning and talented French actress from The Science of Sleep, 21 Grams, or Lars von Trier's Palme-d'Or-winning Antichrist -- but what you may not know is that she also happens to be the daughter of legendary gallic singer/songwriter and troublemaker, Serge Gainsbourg.

The actress-turned-singer brought the producer of the album, Beck, to the studio to deliver this version of "Heaven Can Wait."
