Name: Jean Seberg
Date of Birth: 13 November 1938 Buried in the exclusive Montparnasse cemetery, Paris, France. Her involvement with the Black Panther movement yielded the attention of the FBI, that spread the rumour about her pregnancy in 1970 being a child by Raymond Hewt, a Black Panther movement leader. She answered the press's innuendo by presenting the (white) body of her daughter Nina in a press conference. The incident may have contributed to her persistent depression over the years, and her decision to take her life in 1979. Gave birth to her son Alexandre Diego Gary in July 1963. ... Although her husband Romain Gary acknowledged her daughter Nina as his own, during her pregnancy she confessed that she was actually the product of an affair (during a separation from Gary) with a student revolutionary named Carlos Navarra. Daughter Nina died as a result of complications sustained from Jean overdosing on sleeping pills during her pregnancy, on 25 August 1970, two days after her birth. She was a close friend of Nico, and David Keller. On every subsequent anniversary of her daughter Nina's death, Jean attempted suicide. In 1978, she somehow survived an attempt, throwing herself under a train on the Paris Metro. Rumors flew that Jean's suicide was masterminded by the FBI but it was never proven. Buried in the Montparnasse cemetery in Paris, France, her funeral was attended by such notables as Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir. Committed suicide in the back seat of an automobile in a Paris suburb. Her body wasn't found until 11 days later. Otto Preminger chose her to play Joan of Arc out of nearly 18,000 hopefuls. Her second marriage to second husband/Russian novelist Romain Gary was tempestuous and profoundly unhappy due to his obsessive, Svengali-like influence on her. Divorced in 1970, she committed suicide in 1979 while he took his own life by gunshot the very next year. A musical, simply titled "Jean Seberg", based on her life premiered at the Royal National Theatre, London in 1983. It was written by Julian Barry with music by Marvin Hamlisch and lyrics by Christopher Adler. Kim Novak wanted to play the role eventually given to Seberg in the film musical Paint Your Wagon (1969). Actresses considered for Seberg's role in Lilith (1964) included Natalie Wood, Yvette Mimieux, Samantha Eggar, Sarah Miles and Diane Cilento. Of her own movies, she considers Lilith (1964) to be her favorite. Although being still married to Dennis Berry, she went through a form of marriage to Algerian playboy Ahmed Hasni, but the ceremony had no legal force (31 May 1979). Considered one of the Nouvelle Vague's icons. Born to Edward Seberg and Dorothy Benson. Considered for the role of "Millie" in Our Man in Havana (1959) and the lead role in The Stepford Wives (1975). She dropped out of 'Francois Truffaut''s Fahrenheit 451 (1966) and was replaced by Julie Christie. Was a huge fan of Marlon Brando, since seeing his screen debut in the movie The Men (1950). As a teenager, Seberg wrote to Brando and invited him to stay with her parents in Iowa. She met him years later and Brando asked her to renew the invitation. Ex-daughter-in-law of John Berry.
