Jean Dorothy Seberg (/ˈsiːbɜːrɡ/;[2]French:[ʒinsebɛʁɡ];[3] November 13, 1938 – August 30, 1979) was an American actress. She is considered an icon of theFrench New Wave as a result of her performance inJean-Luc Godard's 1960 filmBreathless.[4][5]
Seberg appeared in 34 films in the United States and Europe, includingSaint Joan,Bonjour Tristesse,Lilith,The Mouse That Roared,Breathless,Moment to Moment,A Fine Madness,Paint Your Wagon,Airport,Macho Callahan, andGang War in Naples. Seberg was among the best-known targets of theFBI'sCOINTELPRO project.[6][7] Her targeting was in retaliation for her support of theBlack Panther Party, a smear directly ordered byJ. Edgar Hoover.[8][9]
Seberg died at the age of 40 in Paris, the French police ruling her death a probable suicide.[10] Seberg's second ex-husband,Romain Gary, called a press conference shortly after her body was found, at which he blamed the FBI's campaign against Seberg for her mental demise. Gary mentioned how the FBI had planted false rumors in the media that Seberg's pregnancy by Carlos Navarra in 1970 was by a Black Panther, and how the trauma had resulted in her overdosing on sleeping pills while pregnant. Gary stated that Seberg had attempted suicide on numerous anniversaries of the infant's death, August 25.[11] At the time of her death, Seberg was separated—though not divorced—from third husbandDennis Berry.
Seberg was born inMarshalltown, Iowa, the daughter of Dorothy Arline (née Benson), a substitute teacher, and Edward Waldemar Seberg, a pharmacist.[12][13][14] Her family wasLutheran and of Swedish, English, and German ancestry.[14][15][16] Seberg had a sister, Mary-Ann, and two brothers, Kurt and David, the younger of whom was killed in a car accident at the age of 18 in 1968.[17]
Her paternal grandfather, Edward Carlson, arrived in the U.S. in 1882 and observed, "There are too many Carlsons in the New World." He changed the family surname to Seberg in memory of the water and mountains of Sweden.[18]
In Marshalltown, Seberg babysat Mary Supinger, some eight years her junior, who became the stage and film actressMary Beth Hurt. After she graduated fromMarshalltown High School, Seberg enrolled at theUniversity of Iowa to study dramatic arts but took up filmmaking instead.[19]
Seberg made her film debut in the title role ofJoan of Arc inSaint Joan (1957), based on theGeorge Bernard Shaw play, having been chosen from among 18,000 hopefuls by directorOtto Preminger in a $150,000 talent search. Her name was entered by a neighbor.[17][20]
When she was cast on October 21, 1956, Seberg's only acting experience had been a single season ofsummer stock performances.[21] The film generated a great deal of publicity, but Seberg commented that she was "embarrassed by all the attention."[20] Despite great hype, called in the press a "Pygmalion experiment", both the film and Seberg received poor reviews.[22] On the failure, she later told the press:
I am the greatest example of a very real fact, that all the publicity in the world will not make you a movie star if you are not also an actress.[17]
She also recounted:
I have two memories ofSaint Joan. The first was being burned at the stake in the picture. The second was being burned at the stake by the critics. The latter hurt more. I was scared like a rabbit and it showed on the screen. It was not a good experience at all. I started where most actresses end up.[23]
Preminger promised her a second chance,[22] and he cast Seberg in his next film,Bonjour Tristesse (1958), which was filmed in France. Preminger told the press: "It's quite true that, if I had chosenAudrey Hepburn instead of Jean Seberg, it would have been less of a risk, but I prefer to take the risk. ... I have faith in her. Sure, she still has things to learn about acting, but so didKim Novak when she started."[22] Seberg again received negative reviews and the film nearly ended her career.[23]
"The only problem I had at the time was that Columbia insisted I use Jean Seberg ... Jean had just doneSaint Joan (1957) andBonjour Tristesse (1958), fresh from her indoctrination by directorOtto Preminger into film acting. Preminger was a screamer and yeller. He waited until he got her into hysterics, then he'd turn the camera on. I don't yell and scream and this was a new experience for her. Sometimes it took twenty [takes] to get it but we got it. ... She went on to be quite a good actress." —FilmmakerJack Arnold, on directing Seberg inThe Mouse That Roared.[24]
Seberg renegotiated her contract with Preminger and signed a long-term contract withColumbia Pictures. Preminger had an option to use her on another film, but they never again worked together. Her first Columbia film was the successful comedyThe Mouse That Roared (1959), starringPeter Sellers.[25]
Mylène Demongeot recalled in a 2015 filmed interview in Paris: "Otto had high hopes in Jean andSaint Joan's failure took a toll on him also because there was a 5-films-contract from what I recall. She was extremely sad too about it and when we all arrived on the set ofBonjour Tristesse she carried on her shoulders the weight of guilt, she was scared. And with that type of man, of character [Preminger] she shouldn't have shown fear, that's why I got along with him. I was a supporting role, I didn't have the weight of the expected success of the film on my shoulders. I had no apprehension regarding him. When he screamed, I would turn and tell him [sarcastically] "you know, you shouldn't screech like that, you gonna get yourself a stroke". Such words would defuse him. On the contrary, Jean was scared of him so he would take advantage and eventually became very mean to her."[26]
During the filming ofBonjour Tristesse, Seberg met François Moreuil, the man who was to become her first husband, and she then based herself in France, finally achieving success as thefree-love heroine ofFrench New Wave films.[23]
She appeared as the female lead inJean-Luc Godard'sBreathless (French title:À bout de souffle, 1960) as Patricia, co-starring withJean-Paul Belmondo. The film became an international success and critics praised Seberg's performance; film critic and directorFrançois Truffaut even hailed her as "the best actress in Europe."[27] Despite her achievements, Seberg did not identify with her characters or the film plots, saying that she was "making films in France about people [I'm] not really interested in."[23] Back in the U.S., she made another film for Columbia, the crime dramaLet No Man Write My Epitaph (1960).
In France, after appearing inTime Out for Love (Les grandes personnes, 1961), Seberg took the lead role in Moreuil's directorial debut,Love Play (La Recréation, also 1961). By that time, Seberg had become estranged from Moreuil, and she recollected that production was "pure hell" and that he "would scream at [her]."[23] She followed withFive Day Lover (L'amant de cinq jours, 1962),Congo vivo (1962) andIn the French Style (1963), a French-American film featuringStanley Baker released through Columbia. She also appeared in the anthology filmThe World's Most Beautiful Swindlers (Les plus belles escroqueries du monde, 1963) andBackfire (Échappement libre, 1964), which reunited her withJean-Paul Belmondo.
Seberg starred withWarren Beatty in the American filmLilith (1964) for Columbia, which prompted the critics to acknowledge Seberg as a serious actress.[27] She returned to France to make romantic crime dramaDiamonds Are Brittle (Un milliard dans un billard, 1965).
In the late 1960s, Seberg was increasingly based in Hollywood.Moment to Moment (1965) was mostly filmed in Los Angeles; only a small part of the film was shot on the FrenchCote d'Azur.[28] In New York City, she acted in the comedyA Fine Madness (1966) withSean Connery and under the direction ofIrvin Kershner.[29]
In 1966 and 1967, Seberg played the leading roles in two French films directed byClaude Chabrol and co-starringMaurice Ronet. In February and March 1966, she starred inLine of Demarcation, filmed aroundDole, Jura,[30] and in May and June 1967, she played the lead role in the French-ItalianEurospy filmThe Road to Corinth, shot in Greece.[31]
After making the crime dramaPendulum withGeorge Peppard (1969), Seberg appeared in her onlymusical film,Paint Your Wagon (also 1969), based onLerner and Loewe's stage musical and co-starringLee Marvin andClint Eastwood. Her singing voice was dubbed byAnita Gordon.[32] Seberg also starred in theensembledisaster filmAirport (1970), which drew mixed reviews but was a huge success at the box office.
Seberg acted in the westernMacho Callahan (1970) and the violent crime dramaKill! Kill! Kill! Kill! (1971), but both films were failures. In 1972, she appeared inGang War in Naples, which was successful in Europe but not in the United States.
Seberg wasFrançois Truffaut's first choice for the central role of Julie inDay for Night (La Nuit américaine, 1973), but after several fruitless attempts to contact her, he gave up and cast British actressJacqueline Bisset instead.[33]
Seberg's last American film appearance was in the TV movieMousey (1974). She remained active during the 1970s in European films, appearing inWhite Horses of Summer (Bianchi cavalli d'Agosto) (1975),The Big Delirium (Le Grand Délire, 1975, with husbandDennis Berry) andDie Wildente (1976, based on Ibsen'sThe Wild Duck[34]).
At the time of Seberg's death, she was working on the French filmOperation Leopard (La Légion saute sur Kolwezi, 1980), which was based upon the book byPierre Sergent.[35] She had filmed scenes inFrench Guiana and returned to Paris for additional work in September. After her death, the scenes were reshot with actressMimsy Farmer.[36]
During the late 1960s, Seberg provided financial support to groups supportingcivil rights, such as theNAACP as well asNative American school groups such as theMeskwaki Bucks at theTama County settlement near her hometown of Marshalltown, for whom she purchased $500 worth of basketball uniforms.[9][37]
As part of its extended campaign to smear and discreditblack liberation andanti-war groups, which began in 1968, theFBI became aware of several gifts Seberg had made to theBlack Panther Party, totaling an estimated $10,500 in contributions; these were noted among a list of other celebrities in FBI internal documents later declassified and released to the public underFOIA requests.[9][37]
The FBI operation against Seberg, directly overseen byJ. Edgar Hoover, usedCOINTELPRO program techniques to harass, intimidate,defame, and discredit her.[8][9] The FBI's stated goal was an unspecified "neutralization" of Seberg with a subsidiary objective to "cause her embarrassment and serve to cheapen her image with the public", while taking the "usual precautions to avoid identification of the Bureau."[38] The FBI's strategy andmodalities can be found in its interoffice memos.[39]
In 1970, the FBI created a false story from a San Francisco-based informant that the child Seberg was carrying was not fathered by her ex-husbandRomain Gary, as initially claimed, but byRaymond Hewitt, a member of the Black Panther Party.[40][41] The story was reported bygossip columnistJoyce Haber of theLos Angeles Times as ablind item.[42][43][a] It was also printed byNewsweek magazine, in which Seberg was directly named.[44] Seberg went intopremature labor and, on August 23, 1970, gave birth to a 4 lb (1.8 kg) baby girl. The child died two days later.[45] Seberg held a funeral in her hometown with an open casket that allowed reporters to see the infant's white skin to disprove the rumors, though she later acknowledged that a Mexican student revolutionary, Carlos Navarra, was the actual father.[46][47]
Seberg and Gary later suedNewsweek forlibel and defamation, asking for $200,000 in damages. She contended that she had become so upset after reading the story that she went into premature labor, which resulted in the death of her daughter. A Paris court orderedNewsweek to pay the couple $10,800 in damages, and it orderedNewsweek to print the judgment in its publication and eight other newspapers.[48]
The Seberg investigation went far beyond the publication of defamatory articles. According to friends interviewed after her death, she experienced years of aggressive in-personsurveillance, amounting to constant stalking, as well as burglaries and other means of intimidation. Newspaper reports say Seberg was well aware of the surveillance. FBI files show that she was wiretapped, and in 1980, theLos Angeles Times published logs of her Swisswiretapped phone calls.[39] U.S. surveillance was deployed while she was residing in France and while traveling in Switzerland and Italy. The FBI files reveal that the agency contacted the FBI legal attachés in the U.S. embassies in Paris and Rome and provided files on Seberg to theCIA,Secret Service andmilitary intelligence to assist in monitoring Seberg while she was abroad.
Two weeks after Seberg's death in 1979, the FBI admitted what it had done nine years previously.[49][50] FBI records show that Hoover kept PresidentRichard Nixon informed of FBI activities related to the Seberg case through Nixon'sdomestic affairs chiefJohn Ehrlichman.Attorney GeneralJohn Mitchell andDeputy Attorney GeneralRichard Kleindienst were also kept informed of FBI activities related to Seberg.[39] At the time of the FBI's admission of its activities, Haber was no longer writing a column, having been fired in 1975 for often using unattributed information in her column.[51] Following the FBI's admission, Haber said she could not disclose the source of the information from her column and said, "If I were used by the FBI, I didn't know it. ... I am certainly shocked to learn that the FBI engaged in planting stories with news people."[49][50] This point of view stands in stark contrast to historical analysts of FBI institutional behavior. Researchers Ward Churchill and Jim Vander Wall stated in their book,The Cointelpro Papers: Documents from the FBI's Secret Wars Against Domestic Dissent, that "There is no indication that Richard Wallace Held [Special Agent-in-Charge of the San Francisco FBI Office 1985–1993] ever considered [Seberg-related FBI activities] to be anything other than an extremely successful COINTELPRO operation."[52]
At the peak of her career, Seberg suddenly stopped acting inHollywood films. Reportedly, she was not pleased with the roles that she had been offered, some of which, she claimed, bordered on pornography.[53] She was not offered any great Hollywood roles, regardless of their size.[53] Experts on the FBI's actions in the COINTELPRO project suggest that Seberg was "effectively blacklisted" from Hollywood films.[54]
Seberg's father reacted strongly to the story of FBI abuses, stating that "if this is true, why in the dickens didn't they just shoot her, instead of having all this travail that's gone on. I have this flag in the corner, that I used to put out every morning, and I haven't put it out since."[55]
On September 5, 1958, at the age of 19, Seberg married François Moreuil, a French lawyer (aged 23) in her native Marshalltown, having met him in France 15 months earlier.[56] They divorced in 1960. Moreuil had ambitions to work in film and directed hisestranged wife inLove Play. He said that the marriage was "violent" and that Seberg "got married for all the wrong reasons."[23]
On living in France for a period of time, Seberg said in an interview:
I'm enjoying it to the fullest extent. I've been tremendously lucky to have gone through this experience at an age where I can still learn. That doesn't mean that I will stay here. I'm in Paris because my work has been here. I'm not an expatriate. I will go where the work is. The French life has its drawbacks. One of them is the formality. The system seems to be based on saving the maximum of yourself for those nearest you. Perhaps that is better than the other extreme in Hollywood, where people give so much of themselves in public life that they have nothing left over for their families. Still, it is hard for an American to get used to. Often I will get excited over a luncheon table only to have the hostess say discreetly that coffee will be served in the other room. ... I miss that casualness and friendliness of Americans, the kind that makes people smile. I also miss blue jeans, milk shakes, thick steaks and supermarkets.[23]
Despite extended stays in the United States, Seberg remained in Paris for the rest of her life. In 1961 she met French aviator,resistance member, novelist and diplomatRomain Gary, who was 24 years her senior and married to authorLesley Blanch. Seberg gave birth to their son, Alexandre Diego Gary, inBarcelona on July 17, 1962.[57] The child's birth and first year of life were hidden, even from close friends and relatives. Gary's divorce from Blanch took place on September 5, 1962, and he married Seberg secretly on October 6, 1962, inCorsica.[58]
During her marriage to Gary, Seberg lived in Paris,Greece,Southern France andMajorca.[59] She filed for divorce in September 1968, and the divorce was finalized on July 1, 1970. As of 2009, their son resides in Spain, where he runs a bookstore and oversees his father's literary and real-estate holdings.[60]
Seberg reportedly had affairs with co-starsWarren Beatty (Lilith),Clint Eastwood (Paint Your Wagon) andFabio Testi (Gang War in Naples), as well as filmmakerRicardo Franco.[61][62][63] NovelistCarlos Fuentes also claimed to have had an affair with her.[64]
While filmingMacho Callahan inDurango, Mexico, in the winter of 1969–70, Seberg became romantically involved with a studentrevolutionary named Carlos Ornelas Navarra. She gave birth to their daughter, Nina Hart Gary, byCaesarean section on August 23, 1970. The baby died two days later on August 25, 1970. Ex-husband Gary assumed responsibility for the pregnancy, but Seberg acknowledged that Navarra was the father.[65] Nina is buried atRiverside Cemetery in Marshalltown.
On March 12, 1972, Seberg married directorDennis Berry. The couple separated in May 1976, but never divorced.[66] Seberg subsequently dated aspiring French filmmaker Jean-Claude Messager, who later spoke to CBS'sMike Wallace for a 1981 profile of the actress.[55]
In 1979, while still legally married to her estranged husband Berry, Seberg went through"a form of marriage" to a 29-year-old Algerian named Ahmed Hasni.[67] Hasni persuaded her to sell her second apartment on the Rue du Bac, and he kept the proceeds (reportedly 11 millionfrancs in cash), announcing that he would use the money to open aBarcelona restaurant.[68] The couple departed for Spain, but she was soon back in Paris alone, and went into hiding from Hasni, who she claimed had grievouslyabused her.[69]

On August 30, 1979, Seberg disappeared from her Paris apartment. Hasni told police that the couple had gone to seeWomanlight and when he awoke the next morning, Seberg was gone.[70] After Seberg went missing, Hasni told police that he had known that she was suicidal for some time. He claimed that she had attempted suicide in July 1979 by jumping in front of a Parissubway train.[71]
On September 8, nine days after her disappearance, Seberg's decomposing body was found wrapped in a blanket in the back seat of herRenault, parked close to her apartment in the16th arrondissement. Police found a bottle ofbarbiturates, an emptymineral water bottle, and a note written in French by Seberg addressed to her son. It read in part, "Forgive me. I can no longer live with my nerves."[72] In 1979, her death was ruled a probable suicide by Paris police,[10] but the following year additional charges were filed against persons unknown for "non-assistance of a person in danger."[73]
Romain Gary, Seberg's second husband, called a press conference shortly after her death at which he blamed the FBI's campaign against Seberg for her deterioratingmental health. Gary claimed that Seberg "becamepsychotic" after the media had reported the false story—planted by the FBI—that she was pregnant with a Black Panther's child in 1970; Seberg had said in an interview that the story was such a shock to her that she went into early labour, leading to thestillbirth of her child.[b] Gary stated that Seberg had repeatedly attempted suicide on the anniversary of the child's death, August 25.[11]
Seberg is interred at theMontparnasse Cemetery in Paris.[75]
According to FBI documents obtained via theFreedom of Information Act,[76][77] six days after the discovery of Seberg's body, the FBI released documents admitting its defamation of Seberg, while making statements attempting to distance the agency from the practices of theHoover era. The FBI's campaign against Seberg was further explored byTime magazine in a front-page article titled "The FBI vs. Jean Seberg."[78]
Media attention surrounding the FBI's abuse of Seberg led to an examination of the case by theChurch Committee of the U.S. Senate, which noted that despite the FBI's claims of reform, "COINTELPRO activities may continue today under the rubric of investigation."[79][80]
In his autobiography,Los Angeles Times editorJim Bellows describes events leading up to the Seberg articles, expressing regret that he had not vetted the articles sufficiently.[80] He echoed this sentiment in subsequent interviews.[81]
In June 1980, Paris police filed charges against "persons unknown" in connection with Seberg's death. Police stated that Seberg had such a high amount of alcohol in her system at the time of her death that it would have rendered hercomatose and unable to enter her car without assistance, and no alcohol was found in the car. Police theorized that someone was present at the time of Seberg's death and failed to seek medical care.[73]
In December 1980, Seberg's former husband Romain Gary died by suicide. His suicide note, addressed to his publisher, indicated that he had not killed himself over the loss of Seberg, but because he could no longer produce literary works.[11]
The Talent Scout by Romain Gary (1961) features a recognizable portrait of Seberg.
In 1983, a musical based on Seberg's life calledJean Seberg, by librettistJulian Barry, composerMarvin Hamlisch and lyricistChristopher Adler, was presented at theNational Theatre in London.
In 1986, pop singerMadonna recreated Seberg's iconicBreathless look in her music video for "Papa Don't Preach," sporting a pixie blonde haircut, French striped jersey shirt and blackcapri pants in the style of Seberg's character inBreathless.
In 1991, actressJodie Foster, a fan of Seberg's performance inBreathless, purchased the film rights toPlayed Out: The Jean Seberg Story,David Richards' biography of Seberg.[82] Foster was set to produce and star in the film, but the project was canceled two years later.[citation needed]
In 1995,Mark Rappaport created a documentary about Seberg,From the Journals of Jean Seberg.Mary Beth Hurt played Seberg in a voiceover. Hurt was born in Marshalltown, Iowa in 1948, attended the same high school as Seberg and was babysat by Seberg.[citation needed]
The plot of the 1998 filmBlack Tears, starringAriadna Gil, is reportedly inspired by Seberg's reported affair withRicardo Franco.[62][83]
The 2000 short filmJe t'aime John Wayne is a tribute parody ofBreathless, with Seberg played byCamilla Rutherford.[84]
In 2004, French authorAlain Absire publishedJean S., a fictionalized biography. Seberg's son Alexandre Diego Gary brought a lawsuit, unsuccessfully attempting to stop publication.[85]
Also from 2004, Seberg is recalled in theDivine Comedy song "Absent Friends": "Little Jean Seberg seemed / So full of life / But in those eyes such troubled dreams / Poor little Jean".
Since 2011, Seberg's hometown of Marshalltown, Iowa, has held an annual Jean Seberg International Film Festival.[86]
In 2019,Amazon released an original film based on Seberg's life calledSeberg that focuses on her battle against the FBI, with the title role played byKristen Stewart.
The character of Anny Vikland inWilliam Boyd's 2020 novelTrio strongly resembles Seberg's in details of her life and death.[87]
In 2022,Kacey Rohl portrayed Seberg inWhite Dog (Chien blanc), a film adaptation byAnaïs Barbeau-Lavalette of Gary's 1970 book.[88]
In 2025,Zoey Deutch portrayed Seberg inRichard Linklater'sNouvelle Vague, a film about the making ofJean-Luc Godard'sBreathless told in the style and spirit of that film.
