An enlightening documentary about a beautiful star and a memorable tribute to her life and career

The new documentary Movie Star: The Secret Lives of Jean Seberg (2013) is very educational and entertaining at the same time. I loved seeing the tributes to each segment of Jean's life. It was very interesting to hear the comments of people she encountered during her life and career too. Family and friends from her hometown as well as across the ocean to Europe. It is a film definitely worth seeing. You'll learn, not only, about Jean Seberg's life from childhood in her Iowa home to her growth to stardom and the FBI scandals that surrounded her reputation and may even have led to her untimely death. One of the producers, Garry McGee has also written books about her life and career. Tammy and Kelly Rundells worked with Garry and researched for years to put this documentary together and make it a fitting memorial of the life of Jean Seberg.
