108: Jean and Jane in Paris (Jean & Jane Part 3)

The result was Breathless, the catalyzing hit of the French New Wave and the movie that would make Jean Seberg an icon.

Jane Fonda would become Vadim’s new creative muse, as well as his third wife.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
