As a native French speaker, I always say Jean (like French pronunciation of Jon) especially since she spent so much time in France and Breathless was one of her breakthrough films/roles.
But as she is actually American, should I pronounce it as "j-ee-n" (like the trousers?)?

J-ee-n! Like the trousers, indeed.
Coupons? That's like money, isn't it?

Thanks!
So it's Jeen See-berg rather than Jon S'berg as I've been incorrectly saying for all these years!
