Perhaps best remembered for her role in Jean-Luc Godard's seminal New Wave classic Breathless, Iowa-born Jean Seberg (1938–1979) was found dead at the age of 40 from a probable suicide by barbiturate overdose. Her support of the Black Panthers attracted the attention of the FBI, leading some to speculate that her radical political ties may have contributed to her decision to take her life. Vintage glossy 6.5 x 8.5 photo of Seberg in her film debut as Joan of Arc, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To Peter—Jean Seberg.” Very faint bend and a few subtle surface marks, otherwise fine condition. R&R COA.
