===Later career===

Seberg acted in the western ''[[Macho Callahan]]'' (1970) and the violent crime drama ''[[Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!]]'' (1971), but both films were failures. In 1972, she appeared in ''[[Gang War in Naples]]'', which was successful in Europe but not in the United States.

Seberg was [[François Truffaut]]'s first choice for the central role of Julie in ''[[Day for Night (film)|Day for Night]]'' (''[[:fr:La Nuit américaine (film)|La Nuit américaine]]'', 1973), but after several fruitless attempts to contact her, he gave up and cast British actress [[Jacqueline Bisset]] instead.<ref>{{cite book|first=Garry|last=McGee|title=Jean Seberg – Breathless|publisher=BearManor Media|location=Albany, GA|year=2008|isbn=978-1-59393-127-8|page=238}}</ref>

Seberg's last American film appearance was in the TV movie ''[[Mousey]]'' (1974). She remained active during the 1970s in European films, appearing in ''[[White Horses of Summer]]'' (''Bianchi cavalli d'Agosto'') (1975), ''[[The Big Delirium]]'' (''[[:fr:Le Grand Délire|Le Grand Délire]]'', 1975, with husband [[Dennis Berry (director)|Dennis Berry]]) and ''[[:de:Die Wildente (1976)|Die Wildente]]'' (1976, based on Ibsen's ''[[The Wild Duck]]''<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075430/|title=The Wild Duck|date=April 28, 1977|access-date=October 14, 2017|website=IMDb.com}}</ref>).

At the time of Seberg's death, she was working on the French film ''[[Operation Leopard]]'' (''La Légion saute sur Kolwezi'', 1980), which was based upon the book by [[:fr:Pierre Sergent (militaire)|Pierre Sergent]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Sergent |first=Pierre |author-link=:fr:Pierre Sergent (militaire) |title=La Legion saute sur Kolwezi: Opération Léopard: le 2e R.E.P. au Zaire, mai-juin 1978 |language=fr |publisher=[[Presses de la Cité]] |location=Paris |date=January 1, 1978 |isbn=978-2-258-00426-9}}</ref> She had filmed scenes in [[French Guiana]] and returned to Paris for additional work in September.
