the FBI (more specifically, j edgar hoover) had a good go at ruining her because **she supported civil rights, indigenous peoples & the black panther party**. they planted vicious stories in 
newspapers & sought to slander her.
ultimately, they succeeded. by 1979, she’d had enough & went out on her own terms. alongside her work in ‘lilith’, ‘la ligne de demarcation’, ‘pendulum’ & ‘bonjour tristesse’, i hope the world remembers her very kind heart & fierce soul.

she was just another midwest, corn-fed starlet without any real substance, right? nope - & **she’s never really had the credit she merits** - for enduring.
for her emotional strength against abusive partners, both professional & amorous.
for her talent & for her compassion. 
jean wanted a just world, so i'll do my bit to ensure that nobody forgets that. she joined the NAACP when she was 13 &, when she made her money, jean gave it to organisations that were fighting for equality.

The original Airport (1970) is quite different from the sequels. It isn't a disaster movie as such. It's an aviation thriller (and a good one) but mostly it's a typical Ross Hunter-produced melodrama. And it's thoroughly enjoyable melodrama.
