Horrid interviewer. Jean Seberg was absolutely lovely as Joan of Arc and she was perfect in BONJOUR TRISTESSE. I cannot imagine any other actress in the part. Her destiny is a tragic one and the right wingers in American politics are certainly to blame for her untimely death. She will always be remembered as one of the most beautiful and sensitive actresses of her generation. The parallels with Romy Schneider are eerie. The French loved both of them and with good reason. Those willing to say a prayer at her grave can do so at the Montparnasse Cemetery, in Paris.

Ricardo Bigi Not the "right wingers" but the CIA. The CIA deliberately spread the untrue rumors that she was having a half-black baby and all that, just because she was naive enough to be sympathetic to some of the Black Panther racist party. Yes, the Black Panthers were White-Hating racists. Two wrongs have never made a right and never will. Both forced segregation and forced integration are equally wrong and equally Un-American violations of INDIVIDUAL rights. The CIA and FBI and all the rest of these scumbags are there regardless of the pathetic joke of a left-right paradigm people like you are stuck in. Get over it already. You live in a tyranny and so does most of the rest of the world. 155 central banks are controlled through the BIS and the IMF who loan EVERY LAST CENT of the entire money supplies of ALL of those 155 countries at COMPOUND interest. This is called USURY. Every heard of that? There's the elites and there's the peons who think they have a voice, because their brainwashing has convinced them that one moronic "vote" actually matters. It never has and never will. Just because they throw you a few bones off their plate too keep you baited to the hook, doesn't mean you're "free." Even one step beyond what Jefferson wrote is already tyranny and always has been: "Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law', because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." "No man has a natural right to commit aggression on the equal rights of another, and this is all from which the laws ought to restrain him." (Thomas Jefferson to Francis Gilmer, 1816)

I don't get all the comments about the interviewer being "inhuman", "accusative and insulting"... She is incisive and inquisitive -as any good interwiewer should be - but not insensitive. She does her job quite well - which is asking questions, even personal ones - but more importantly, she lets her interviewee time to answer and doesn't interrupt her every 10 seconds, which has become a rarity in this day and age. The fact that Jean Seberg responds frankly and gracefully clearly shows she doesn't feel attacked or threatened.

She was very lovely and Jean Seberg is an icon for me. A very beautiful actress and a lady with strong convictions and desire to defend other populations like Indians of America,black people .I think that Jean was fragile however and would have needed a good psychiatrist because she married three times and had many affairs with men and her last lover was a dangerous man Ahmed Asni i guess who was a man who was violent and implied in a drugs traffic..I just think that Jean was a woman who needed love and affection but she had no respect for herself and was easily influenced . She sadly fell in love with bad individuals who took advantage of her and stole her and that 's what killed Jean.

She had mostly many affairs when she was smashed down by depression, alcohol and pills in 77-78. Until then she had a pretty normal romantic life, with some boyfriends outside of her marriages (and she was not the one night stand type)but nothing to be shocked about given our current days standards. She managed to get out from that one year or so before her death, but then she met Asni... She should have been born 20 years later, she would probably still be alive...

I agree, stephenhenrywallace, she was stunning in Bonjour tristesse. She had much more talent than some people who are earning million dollar paychecks today.

It's amazing what a difference a hair-style makes, because this exact hair-do is so perfect for her, that to see her hair any other way leaves her nearly unrecognizable! But, it, with this look and this lovely disposition she has here, she is one of my ideal woman, for sure! I would meet her and want to marry her just that quick!

Aww, sad Jean. It's awful what happened to her.

Le Cinépanorama was a French television program about cinema in the 1960s, notably about the Cannes festival in France. The presenter that we see in the image is called France Roche, birth name France Roselyne Rachel Roche. She was a journalist, film critic, producer and television presenter but above all an actress since she made about twenty films only in her country. Jean Seberg was a young woman spontaneous and endearing, sincere and infinitely seductive, Jean traversed Life like a comet with an innocence and a freshness of heart and mind that was never denied. Jean rests today in the greatest modesty in the Montparnasse cemetery in Paris. I don't live in this city otherwise I will go and leave flowers for her at her resting place because I think of her a lot. In his memory!

Oh my, I fell in love by the end of the first sentence.

I really love that moment when she refers to Truffaut as a young radical film critic...yeah that haircut!!!

She was not the casting couch types, and a lot has been written about her relationship with Preminger, there was nothing sexual in it, however Preminger was a true saddist on the set who crushed her talent by a big measure. She only managed to truely rise from it when she started to follow the actor course of Patton Price in LA in 58-59.

elle est absolument charmante. ce qu'on ne peut pas dire de la journaliste...

Jean Seberg is SOOOOOOOOOOO cool. Man I just LOVE her ;)

Le journaliste est très, très mal élevé! Mme. Seberg est enchanteur.

Such a brave woman...she endured so much.

Thanks for the post. Don't know why the critics went after her because the overall quality of the film just wasn't very good even if Priminger directed it. Just compare Anatomy of a Murder's photography to Saint Joan. The writing, the sets, and the overall acting was poor. She got whacked for all of Priminger's sins. The girl could act.

She seems. Like a wonderful person... Lord why do we. Let them destroy such things?

SHE WAS VERY BEAUTIFUL

I really liked Jean Seberg in the "Moment to Moment." The music was stirring in the film also. I really miss Henry Mancini's talent.

@CosmicArdency sorry but the interviewer is France Roche (born 1921 and fortunately still alive) who used to be a quite famous movie journalist in the sixties (she was married to François Chalais, another tv "star" of the time). France Roche worked successfully till 1986 for the french public television "Antenne 2" and ended her long career in cable and movie channels.In her youth she was casted for minor roles or appearances in several movies. Later she also wrote scripts.

jean seberg is one of the most beautiful women i have yet to see. i would kill to look like her! i find the interviewer quite irritating. i understand she's doing her job but she doesn't have very much tact.

Brando met her later in .L.A and asked if the offer was still open, hehe. Don't blame him at all, I want to run away with her too.

Isn't wonderful, what Truffaut wrote about her? Better, about Otto Preminger's "love letter to her"? Lovely, when she says "a jeune critic tres radical, Francois Truffaut..." To me it's the best part of the interview.

for sure a star in the sky

Estoy total y perdidamente enamorado de ella.

The interviewer was tough. Even in a time when they glazed over negatives, she repeatedly told Seberg she failed. This hugely talented, smart, and evenly projected woman was crushed and killed by the world at large.

Does anyone have the sourcing for this interview? I'm writing on Breathless and would like to add this interview as a source.

Jean n'etait pas seulement tres belle. Elle avait de la classe (ce qui n'est pas evident dans le monde pourri des journos) Ici on lui tend un piege durant l'interview, mais elle n'y tombe pas. Jean est inoubliable, tands que la "dadame" qui conduit l'interview est depuis et pour toujours dans les oubliettes.

Awesome! What year was this?

amazing! wonderful woman ..

Agreed, Bonjour Tristesse was wonderful. And despite what this interviewer said, it was not a flop. It wasn't a huge hit, but it paled in comparison to Niven and Kerr's other film that year, Separate Tables.

Haha the interviewer couldn't possible imagine that those movies would become bigger then life in the future and Seberg imortal.

Patrizia! 'E' troppo tardi per avere paura'

@HighFlyinDragon Sorry to bother you but may i ask what sort of sadness did she have?

I think Europe was hard for her because it seems to me that she is an all American girl at heart (despite the fact that she could be French to look at and certainly her command of the language is amazing esp for someone who was loathe to remain away from America). I am glad I watched this interview because she is sweet and endearing and intelligent.

People here are complaining about the interviewer, but you've got to remember at this time (1960) that it was still very much a man`s world, and in order for a woman, (such as the interviewer) to make it in a traditionally male profession, they would have to show that they could be just as formidable and aggressive as any man in an interview situation. A woman who was a bit more senstitve as an interviewer probably wouldn't have been employed at this time.

I'm in love with her...

To be able to learn and speak French at such a young age shows how intelligent Jean Seberg was.

I think it is interesting when they talk about psychoanalysis like it is a bad thing. Believe me most people could afford to open up to someone else about what is going on with them and engage in a little self exploration. Funny to see how many people have a negative stigma towards therapists. I didn't realize she commited suicide. Seems to me opening up to someone and dealing with her internal judgements, heartaches would of been a positive thing. Very sad.
