Ms. Baker was agead of her times I truly admire her I was lucky to meet her niece back in the early 70's just wish I could have met her. She was fantastic and amazing Lynn Whitfiled did a superb performation in the Josphine Baker story.

She's free-dancing to a form that was couple's-dance everywhere in America. She's doing what we do today, when we can't think how to dance a foxtrot or a jitterbug, or something by some disco diva. But she's doing it onstage. That was the fresh part. She couldn't do it in America, because in America, where everybody is free, some people are more free than others, and Dancing is the tool of Satan, and communists, and well, you get the idea. So she went to France.

She was so beautiful. In her early days, she had a life of glamour and excitement. She had an affair with the Crown Prince of Sweden, traveling in his private railway car.

That's where the 'stanky leg' dance came from!!!

Beyonce got many of her moves from Josephine, that is true. I also see Josephine's influence in the "Deja Vu" video.

Am I the only one who thinks of Beyonce's "Single Ladies" dance when looking at this??
i think this woman is amazing! the dance, fashion, hair... she was a french star but american born. she went from extreme poverty growing up in the slums of St. Louis to being a Parisian actress. she was the envy of all french women :)
