In the late 1960s, she began working as a film actress in both Italy and France, under the name Fabienne Fabre.
Robert Plant and Jimmy Page often jammed with her and finally suggested that she should create a band.
After touring the U.S. with Led Zeppelin, Fabre went back to Europe and met a young guitarist, Eric Lévi, at a concert in Paris.
They decided to start a band in 1975, Shakin' Street (first named either Speedball or Spitball, depending on which version of the story is being told).
Shine released her autobiography in 2014, Sexe, Drogues & Rock'n'roll, co-written with French rock critic Jean-Eric Perrin.
