This video is a tribute to Jean Seberg, of her beauty and her tragic death. I searched through a lot of
songs and found this one by pure accident. It matched perfectly. I hope you like this video.
About Jean Seberg, from Wikipedia:
Jean Dorothy Seberg(November 13, 1938 -- August 30, 1979) was an American actress. She starred in
37 films in Hollywood and in France, including Breathless (1960), the musical Paint Your Wagon (1969)
and the disaster film Airport (1970). Seberg married François Moreuil, a French movie director who directed
her in La récréation, in 1958; they divorced in 1960. In 1962, she married French novelist and diplomat
Romain Gary, who was 24 years her senior.
After Richard Nixon's resignation from the presidency, the United States Senate Select Committee to Study
Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities, a U.S. Senate committee chaired by Senator
Frank Church (D-ID) and usually referred to as the Church Committee, revealed that the FBI used illegally
obtained information about Jean Seberg to concoct an article it planted in Newsweek magazine that defamed
the actress, who was then seven months pregnant with her second child.[20]
The FBI's goal was to "cause her embarrassment and serve to cheapen her image with the public". Accordingly
to some authors and researchers, the FBI's actions against Jean Seberg resulted in her suicide. Her death led
fifteen months later to the suicide of her husband Romain Gary, although his suicide note denied any connection
between their two suicides.
In August 1979, she went missing and was found dead eleven days later in the back seat of her car, which was
parked close to her Paris apartment in the 16th arrondissement. The police report stated that she had taken a
massive overdose of barbiturates and alcohol (8g per liter). A suicide note ("Forgive me. I can no longer live with
my nerves.") was found in her hand, and "probable suicide" was ultimately ruled the official cause of death by the
French coroner. However, it is often questioned how she could have operated a car with that amount of alcohol
in her body, and without the corrective lenses she needed for driving. One year later, her former husband Romain
Gary committed suicide.
Seberg was interred in the Cimetière du Montparnasse, Paris, France.
In 1995, a documentary of her life was made by Mark Rappaport, titled From the Journals of Jean Seberg. Mary
Beth Hurt played Seberg in a voice-over. Appropriately, Hurt was also born in Marshalltown, Iowa, in 1948, attended
the same high school as Seberg, and Seberg had been her babysitter. A musical, Jean Seberg, by librettist Julian
Barry, composer Marvin Hamlisch, and lyricist Christopher Adler, based on Seberg's life, was presented in 1983 at the
National Theatre in London.
Mexican author and diplomat Carlos Fuentes mirrored their short-termed alleged love story in his 1994 novel Diana
o La Cazadora Solitaria (Diana, or The Solitary Hunter).
The short 2000 film Je t'aime John Wayne is a tribute parody of Breathless, with Camilla Rutherford playing Seberg's
role.
In 2004, the French author Alain Absire published Jean S., a fictionalised biography. Seberg's son, Alexandre Diego
Gary, brought a lawsuit unsuccessfully attempting to stop publication.
In 1991, Jodie Foster, a fan of her performance in Breathless, purchased the film rights to the David Richards' biography
about Seberg, Played Out: The Jean Seberg Story.[36] She was going to produce and star in the film. The project was
cancelled two years later.
In 2011, filming began in New York City on a biopic tentatively titled, 'Jean', starring artist and heiress Daphne Guinness
as Jean Seberg.
