this is a still from breathless (1960), a french film starring jean seberg and the extremely bad-ass jean-paul belmondo. i was struck by seberg's beauty instantly and fell in love with her by the end of the movie. i was even more shocked to find out she is an iowa native (from marshalltown), a ui grad, lived in mallorca, and politically supported the blank panthers and the mesquaki tribe, all of which are fun facts. not so fun, is the fact that she committed suicide in the 16th parisienne arrondissement by overdosing on barbiturates and alcohol while pregnant with her second child. though tragic she is still absolutely beautiful, if i had already mentioned that. rip ms. seberg.
