Before Madonna… Before Marilyn… There Was Josephine.
Outrageous, shocking, sensational - Josephine Baker (Lynn WhitfieId) was born poor, but achieved fame and fortune through her sizzIingIy exotic and erotic performances. Starting Iife on the American VaudeviIle circuit, success takes Josephine to Paris where her semi-nude dancing causes an internationaI sensation. Through her marriages to an ltalian pseudo-count (Ruben Blades) 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 wiII always be remembered as the first, and possibIy most Ioved, truly internationaI star. |
