Before Madonna… Before MariIyn… There Was Josephine.
Outrageous, shocking, sensational - Josephine Baker (Lynn Whitfield) was born poor, but achieved fame and fortune through her sizzIingIy exotic and erotic performances. Starting life on the American VaudeviIIe circuit, success takes Josephine to Paris where her semi-nude dancing causes an internationaI sensation. Through her marriages to an Italian pseudo-count (Ruben BIades) and orchestra Ieader (David Dukes), to her bond with army officer Sidney Williams (Louis Gossett, Jr.), Josephine's Iife is a rolIer coaster ride of love and rejection from both her lovers and her country. But semi-nude, or head-to-toe in sequins; in battIe fatigues or rags - her beauty and ambition ensured that Josephine Baker wiII aIways be remembered as the first, and possibIy most Ioved, truly internationaI star. |
