Jean Seberg |
Jean Dorothy Seberg (/'si?b??rg/;[2] French: [?in seb??g];[3] November 13, 1938 – August 30, 1979) was an American actress who lived half her life in France. Her performance in Jean-Luc Godard's 1960 film Breathless immortalized her as an icon of French New Wave cinema.[4][5] She appeared in 34 films in Hollywood and in Europe, including Saint Joan, Bonjour Tristesse, Lilith, The Mouse That Roared, Moment to Moment, A Fine Madness, Paint Your Wagon, Airport, Macho Callahan, and Gang War in Naples. She was also one of the best-known targets of the FBI COINTELPRO project.[6][7] Her targeting was a well-documented retaliation for her support of the Black Panther Party in the 1960s. Seberg died at the age of 40 in Paris, with police ruling her death a probable suicide.[1] Romain Gary, Seberg's second husband, called a press conference shortly after her death where he publicly blamed the FBI's campaign against Seberg for her death. Gary noted that the FBI planted false rumors with various U.S. media outlets claiming her 1970 pregnancy was a Black Panther's child, and how the trauma led to the child's miscarriage. Romain Gary stated that Seberg had attempted suicide on numerous anniversaries of the child's death, August 25.[8] Contents 1 Early life 2 Film career 2.1 Otto Preminger 2.2 Breathless and French career 2.3 Return to Hollywood 2.4 Later career 3 FBI COINTELPRO investigation 3.1 Possible Hollywood blacklisting 3.2 Family reaction to FBI abuse of Seberg 4 Personal life 5 Death 6 Aftermath 7 In popular culture 8 Filmography 9 See also 10 References 11 Further reading 12 External links
