From the Journals of Jean Seberg

This film blends documentary and fiction to create a portrait of American actress Jean Seberg (Mary Beth Hurt). Depicting her rise to fame as the winner of a talent search launched by director Otto Preminger, the movie covers her years in both Hollywood and Europe, where she became a popular French star. Addressing Seberg's personal problems, the production also looks at the lives of some of her peers, notably fellow famous and controversy-courting celebrity Jane Fonda.
