"Jean Seberg (Nov. 13, 1938 - 1979) was an extraordinary American actress - the star of Godard’s Breathless and three dozen other French and American films… During the later part of the 1960s, Seberg used her high-profile image to privately voice support for the NAACP and supported Native American school groups such as the Mesquaki Bucks at the Tama settlement near her home town of Marshalltown, for whom she purchased $500 worth of basketball uniforms. She also supported the Black Panther Party. Though she had done nothing illegal, FBI director J. Edgar Hoover considered her a threat to the American state. Her telephone was tapped and her private life was closely observed. She knew about it and felt chased. Things came to a head when a gossip campaign against her (FBI initiated), claiming that the child she was expecting was not fathered by her husband Romain Gary, but by a member of The Black Panther Party, drove her nearly mad. Tragically, the child died a mere two days after birth. Gary and Seberg had the corpse placed in a glass coffin so the world could see the race of the dead girl (white)… After this Seberg suffered from depressions and often attempted suicide. Her by now estranged husband Gary claimed that she did this annually on her dead daughter’s birthday. Finally in 1979 Seberg succeeded in taking her own life - Romain Gary followed suit in 1980…" - triple t from Bookmarklet
