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 life on the American VaudevilIe circuit, success takes Josephine to Paris where her semi-nude dancing causes an international sensation. Through her marriages to an Italian 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 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 will always be remembered as the first, and possibIy most Ioved, truIy international star. |
