Jean Seberg

Some of Jean Seberg's films were:. She has a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6636 Hollywood Boulevard, and is buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery, in a crypt emblazoned with the name "Norma Arrouge," next to film star Jean Harlow. Her second husband, Romain Gary, with whom she had a son, Alexandre Diego Gary, also committed suicide a year after her death. Confounding the skeptics, they were still happily married at the time of her death, though in her declining years she reportedly called Arrouge "Irving.". Actress Kirsten Dunst has proposed making a film about Seberg's life. She retired from acting in 1942 and married Martín Arrouge, a ski enthusiast quite a few years her junior. The short film Je T'aime John Wayne 2000, is a tribute parody of Breathless, with Camilla Rutherford playing Seberg's role. After Thalberg died in 1936, Shearer embarked upon a series of little known but enthusiastic love affairs, including one with teenage film star Mickey Rooney and tough-guy actor George Raft.

In 1995 a documentary of her life was made titled: Jean Seberg: American Actress. She was nominated the same year for her role in Their Own Desire, in 1931 for her role in A Free Soul, in 1934 for The Barretts of Wimpole Street, in 1936 for Romeo and Juliet, and in 1938 for Marie Antoinette which was reputedly her favorite role. Jean Seberg was interred in the Cimetière du Montparnasse, Paris, France. Starting as a film extra in 1920, she was already a popular star in 1927 when she married MGM's second-in-command Irving Thalberg, with whom she had two children. Shearer won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in The Divorcee in 1930. The police report stated that she had taken a massive overdose of barbiturates and alcohol (8g per litre). She was one of the Canadian pioneers in early Hollywood. Miraculously, she survived the incident, but less than a year later, in August 1979, she went missing and was found dead eleven days later in the back seat of her car in a Paris suburb. Norma Shearer (August 10, 1902 - June 12, 1983) was an American actress born in Montreal, Quebec.

She made several attempts to take her own life, including throwing herself under a train on the Paris Métro. Miss Seberg stated that the trauma of this event brought on premature labor and her child was stillborn. According to Miss Seberg's husband, after the loss of their child she suffered from a deep depression and became suicidal. In a press conference after the miscarriage she presented the press with a viewing of her fetus to demonstrate that the child did not have a father of African heritage and to expose the malevolent falsehood of the claim used by the FBI in its illegal COINTELPRO effort to discredit her and violate her exercise of her constitutionally protected rights. Before Hoover's plan to disgrace her could be implemented, the story was reported by the Los Angeles Times newspaper and Newsweek magazine.

Edgar Hoover, since proven to have illegally kept large files on private citizens, considered her a threat and in 1970, when she was seven months pregnant, created a story to leak to the media that the child she was carrying was not fathered by her second husband, Romain Gary, but by a black civil rights activist. Then FBI director, J. She supported the Black Panther Party. During the latter part of the 1960s, Miss Seberg used her high-profile image to voice support for the NAACP and supported native American school groups such as the Mesquakie Bucks at the Tama settlement near her home town of Marshalltown, for whom she purchased $500 worth of basketball uniforms.

Among her roles, she co-starred with Jean-Paul Belmondo in Jean-Luc Godard's classic work of New Wave cinema, Breathless (original French title: A bout de souffle). She became even more of an icon from her roles in numerous French films and the tragedy of her turbulent life. She would go on to star in thirty-four films in Hollywood and in France where she lived in Paris with her first husband, attorney Francois Moreuil. She was discovered by Otto Preminger, who directed her in her first two motion pictures.
