107: Jean and Otto Preminger/Jane in New York (Jean & Jane Part 2)
Jean Seberg made her first two films,
Saint Joan and
Bonjour Tristesse, for director Otto Preminger, a tyrannical svengali character whose methods would traumatize Jean for the rest of her life and career. No wonder she rebelled against this bad dad figure by marrying a handsome French opportunist. Meanwhile, Jane Fonda moves to New York, joins the Actors Studio, takes up with her own hyper-controlling male partner, and tries to define herself as something other than Henry Fondaβs daughter.
