Isnt Jean Seberg beautiful

I dont know if its the mad look in her eye, or the fact that shes a nympho, or her wig ( because her photos on IMDB database are pretty ordinary ), or its the haunting feeling of knowing she lived and died in real life somewhat like her character in Lilith. Maybe shes just plain beautiful, but i'll put her up there with Monroe and Sharon Stone.

That scene in which Seberg closes the door on Beattys face but he comes in ........ then she looks at him, smiles, and laughs........then all over again......... that's my best 1 minute of hollywood

Actually the post should read Wasn't Jean Seberg beautiful.

Yes -- and she died way to young.

Perhaps Lillith was less about the Lillith legend and more about Seberg's own demons.

As in past tense.

She does look great in this. Long hair and b+w photography suit her.

Ugh! She was gorgeous, but I thought she looked awful with that mullet-y do. And that wig was nasty! Filmed in '63-64 when long hair (but strait, not curly--we used to iron it!) was popular, shortly before Mia Farrow chopped hers off and Seberg's real look became all the rage. They both were gamin types so it looked great on them.

I wonder if we might more properly call it "a fall," rather than a full-on wig.

It sometimes looks like it's Seberg's own bangs, with the rest of her short-ish hair brushed back over a length of long false hair, that's attached underneath.

Or maybe some scenes used a wig, and some just a fall? I've seen some pics where you can kind of see a subtle line of demarcation, across the back of h head. (Unfortunately, can't find those pics online at the moment!)

Still, I bet she was glad to ditch WHATEVER t was when filming was over!

I would more put her up there with a young Catherine Deneuve.

This was NOT a Hollywood production, this was produced outside of the Hollywood bubble and filmed in New York.

She is incredibly beautiful in this.

I also liked how they superimposed images on top of each other... added to visuals and storytelling... The first love making scene especially was made with good taste and effect.

She's like a mix of Catherine Deneuve and Rebecca De Mornay...
