About Josephine Baker
Josephine Baker (June 3, 1906 – April 12, 1975) was an American-born French dancer, singer, and actress. She sashayed onto a Paris stage during the 1920s with a comic, yet sensual appeal that took Europe by storm. Famous for barely-there dresses and no-holds-barred dance routines, her exotic beauty generated nicknames "Black Venus," "Black Pearl" and "Creole Goddess." Admirers bestowed a plethora of gifts, including diamonds and cars, and she received approximately 1,500 marriage proposals. She maintained energetic performances and a celebrity status for 50 years until her death in 1975.
Josephine Baker has continued to intrigue and inspire people throughout the world. In 1991, HBO released The Josephine Baker Story. The film garnered five Emmy Awards. Beyoncé Knowles has portrayed Baker on various accounts throughout her career. In 2011, Sonia Rolland portrayed Baker in the film Midnight in Paris. In July 2013, Cush Jumbo's debut play Josephine and I premieres at the Bush Theatre, London. For more information about Josephine as a style icon, please click here and here.
