MINI BIO:

Blonde American actress who brought warmth, vitality, and emotional appeal to French films of the early sixties after a shaky start in her own country in Saint Joan. Later films never trained her abilities along the right lines and, although she continued to look better in French films than those of Hollywood, her film career had ground to a halt some years before she committed suicide with barbiturates. Married to writer-director Romain Gary from 1963 to 1970. He shot himself in 1980.

Jean Seberg Quotes:

Air Raid Warden in Physics Lab: Why is it so different from an H-bomb?
Professor Alfred Kokintz: H-bomb? This new bomb is based on quodium, which is 100 times more powerful than hydrogen.
Helen Kokintz: My father uses an H-bomb just to trigger this one.


[about her voices]
St.Joan of Arc: They come from God.
Robert de Baudricourt: They come from your imagination.
St.Joan of Arc: Of course. That is how the messages of God come to us, through our imagination.


St.Joan of Arc: There's no help, no council in any of you. I thought I would have friends in the court of France, and I find only wolves fighting for pieces of her poor torn body. I believed that you, who now cast me out, would be like strong towers to keep harm from me. But I'm wiser now and nobody is any the worse for being wiser. Don't think you can frighten me by telling me that I'm alone. France is alone... and God is alone... and what is my loneliness before the loneliness of my country and my God?

Jean Seberg Facts
Buried in the exclusive Montparnasse cemetery, Paris, France.

She was a close friend of Nico, and David Keller.

Her second marriage to the 24-years-older Russian novelist Romain Gary was tempestuous and profoundly unhappy due to his obsessive, Svengali-like influence on her. Divorced in 1970 when she became pregnant by her lover Carlos Navarra, she committed suicide in 1979 while he took his own life by gunshot the very next year; however, Gary stated in his suicide note that Jean's suicide had nothing to do with his.
