    Now makes me think if Marilyn Monroe was was really a suicide. They seem to do it all the time back then.

    Marilyn Monroe was murdered (I will let you do the research). Her toxicology samples disappeared. There are suspicions over the circumstances of Jean Seberg's death.

    I just saw the film 'Seberg.' I did some research on her and how tragic a life she was left with thanks to the J. Edgar Hoover. Sadly what Hoover did to Seberg he did to so many over so many decades!

    There are two sides to every story. I listened to this video after watching Jean Seberg's acting triumph in Saint Joan (Joan of Arc). Her array of emotions and onstage power was stunning, captivating, and rare. I am heartily sorry for her many misfortunes, which occurred throughout her turbulent and troubled life. I am deeply, deeply saddened for her and for those who loved her. Yet she was actively promoting and funding an organization dedicated to the violent overthrow of the United States Government. This organization advocated the brutal murder of common, unimportant, innocent, and law-abiding American Citizens who were living peaceably with their families. And so, she participated in that terrorism. Therefore, I feel that she should have been confronted in court through an open and legal due process of law rather than the way it was handled, which only created a tragedy upon an exiting tragedy.

    Best comment on this page. I too love Seberg's contribution to cinema and, perhaps even more significantly, culture itself but while the FBI's actions towards her were categorically abominable, supporting and funding any terrorist organisation almost always carries a heavy price.

    A lot of us didn’t want to entertain MS, Parkinson’s, and everything else you think we’d entertain; stuck in the middle doesn’t mean we need you telling us what to do. Résistance Americaine is not social nuisance. You trying to interpret it and defame everybody by categorizing with fluky data correlation will facilitate the very demise eluded to herewith, thank you Alistair Cooke, Cooks America AGAIN

    I love Alistair Cooke, but I have to disagree that the FBI 'improvised' it's rules of harassment. The harassment was typical of all totalitarian and authoritarian torture regimes.

    People like Jean Seberg and Romain Gary live on their own terms but have a big psychological problem when their behavior deprives them of being a center of attention, of understanding, of not being liked or loved, or being accused of being something that their behavior portrayed them to be. Jean was a victim of her own making because she was unable to accept and deal with how her behavior could destroy her life. Gary was a novelist and it was so much more dramatic to say the article brought on miscarriage rather than the truth that her drug abuse did. When Gary himself killed himself sixteen months after Jean his suicide note said it had no relation to Seberg's suicide. Many consider this his novelist's admission in the form of a denial.

    Thanks for posting this. I had NO idea. I'd heard about the harassment of Jean Seberg, knew the tragedy of her suicide was somehow related--but this? J. Edgar Hoover's remains should be disinterred and reburied under a pig sty.
