Jean Dorothy Seberg was born in Marshalltown, Iowa, to substitute teacher Dorothy Arline (Benson) and pharmacist Edward Waldemar Seberg. Her father was of Swedish descent and her mother was of English and German ancestry.
One month before her 18th birthday, Jean landed the title role in Otto Preminger's Saint Joan (1957) after a much-publicized contest involving some 18,000 hopefuls. The failure of that film and the only moderate success of her next, Bonjour Tristesse (1958), combined to stall Seberg's career, until her role in Jean-Luc Godard's landmark feature, Breathless (1960), brought her renewed international attention. Seberg gave a memorable performance as a schizophrenic in the title role of Robert Rossen's Lilith (1964) opposite Warren Beatty and went on to appear in over 30 films in Hollywood and Europe.
In the late 1960s, Seberg became involved in anti-war politics and was the target of an undercover campaign by the FBI to discredit her because of her association with several members of the Black Panther party. She was found dead under mysterious circumstances in Paris in 1979.- Marguerite Young was born on 6 September 1907 in England, UK. She was an actress, known for The Gnomes of Dulwich (1969), W. Somerset Maugham (1969) and Edgar Allan Poe Centenary (1949). She died on 30 August 1979 in Hove, East Sussex, England, UK.

Paul Nelson was an architect, trained at Princeton and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Visiting Los Angeles, Nelson toured the Pathe studios with relatives and met Gloria Swanson. His enthusiasm for the new International style modern design persuaded her that he should be the art director of her next film, What a Widow! (1930). He spent nine months designing sets for that film before returning to architecture. During his fifty-year career, Nelson designed several successful modern hospitals. For added chic, publicity for What a Widow! labeled the designer "Paul Nelson, Paris" and he returned to France after completing the film.
