What your government can do for you... The FBI ran such a strong smear campaign against actress Jean Seberg, that she delivered a stillborn! Seberg hit stardom when she was chosen from 3,000 women at age 17 to star as Joan of Arc in Saint Joan. In the final scene when Joan is burned at the stake, Seberg actually took a fireball to the face on camera. It made the scene one of the most realistic and disturbing death scenes caught on camera. By 1960, Seberg was a cultural icon in France starring in major films and even influencing Parisian style. She was very public in her support for the anti-racist group the Black Panthers along with Jane Fonda. Seberg had such influence in Europe, that FBI director J. Edgar Hoover took note and considered her a genuine liability. In 1970, when she was seven months pregnant with her husband’s child, the FBI leaked a face letter insinuating that a Black Panther actually fathered her unborn child. Seberg was so distraught over the matter that she gave birth early to a stillborn. The next day, she shocked journalists with calling a press conference and presented them with her dead, white child! It put an end to the rumors, but the FBI continued to pursue Seberg until she moved to Paris again. She struggled the rest of her life with depression and died at the age of 40 in Paris.
