Josephine
Baker (born Freda Josephine McDonald; 3 June 1906 – 12 April 1975)
was an entertainer, activist, and French Resistance agent. Her career
was centered primarily in Europe, mostly in her adopted France.
During her early career she was renowned as a dancer, and was among
the most celebrated performers to headline the revues of the Folies
Bergère in Paris. Her performance in the revue Un Vent de Folie in
1927 caused a sensation in Paris. Her costume, consisting of only a
girdle of bananas,
became her most iconic image and a symbol of the Jazz Age and the
1920's.

Baker
was the first person of color to become a world-famous entertainer
and to star in a major motion picture, the 1934 Marc Allégret film
Zouzou. Baker refused to perform for segregated audiences in the
United States and is noted for her contributions to the Civil Rights
Movement. In 1968 she was offered unofficial
leadership in the movement in the United States by Coretta Scott
King, following Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination. After
thinking it over, Baker declined the offer out of concern for the
welfare of her children.
She
was also known for aiding the French Resistance during World War II.
After the war, she was awarded the Croix de guerre by the French
military, and was named a Chevalier of the Légion d'honneur by
General Charles de Gaulle.
In
her later years, Baker converted to Roman Catholicism. In 1968, Baker
lost her castle due to unpaid debts; afterwards Princess Grace
offered her an apartment in Roquebrune, near Monaco.
Baker
was back on stage at the Olympia in Paris in 1968, in Belgrade in
1973, at Carnegie Hall in 1973, at the Royal Variety Performance at
the London Palladium in 1974, and at the Gala du Cirque in Paris in
1974. On 8 April 1975, Baker starred in a retrospective revue at the
Bobino in Paris, Joséphine à Bobino 1975, celebrating her 50 years
in show business. The revue, financed notably by Prince Rainier,
Princess Grace, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, opened to rave
reviews. Demand for seating was such that fold-out chairs had to be
added to accommodate spectators. The opening night audience included
Sophia Loren, Mick Jagger, Shirley Bassey, Diana Ross, and Liza
Minnelli.
Four
days later, Baker was found lying peacefully in her bed surrounded by
newspapers with glowing reviews of her performance. She was in a coma
after suffering a cerebral hemorrhage. She was taken to
Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital, where she died, aged 68, on 12 April
1975.

It
appears to me that Josephine Baker took his character to the cleaners
and wash all traces of it on Celebrity Island!!
