Before Madonna… Before Marilyn… There Was Josephine.
Outrageous, shocking, sensational - Josephine Baker (Lynn Whitfield) was born poor, but achieved fame and fortune through her sizzlingly exotic and erotic performances. Starting Iife on the American Vaudeville circuit, success takes Josephine to Paris where her semi-nude dancing causes an international sensation. Through her marriages to an ItaIian pseudo-count (Ruben BIades) and orchestra leader (David Dukes), to her bond with army officer Sidney WiIIiams (Louis Gossett, Jr.), Josephine's life is a roIler coaster ride of Iove and rejection from both her Iovers and her country. But semi-nude, or head-to-toe in sequins; in battle fatigues or rags - her beauty and ambition ensured that Josephine Baker will always be remembered as the first, and possibly most loved, truIy international star. |
