Josephine is known as the "girl who danced her way through the 20's and 30's only dressed in bananas". A dancer, singer, actress and a comedian all in one, Josephine Baker was the first black female entertainer to break through racial prejudice in Europe and the United States. Her acts were both outrageously funny and quite sexy. She was a star of stage, screen and recordings, a civil rights activist and an honored military woman during World War II. 
She adopted 12 children of different races, whom she called the "Rainbow Tribe". Josephine sought to prove that "children of different ethnicities and religions could be brothers". Josephine's stardom lasted for 50 years; her fans gave her extravagant gifts such as diamonds and cars, and she received over 1,500 marriage proposals.
Moving to Paris in 1925 and performing in La Revue Negre was a turning point in Baker's career. Dancing in nothing but a feather skirt in the Danse Souvage and a costume made of bananas strung to her skirt in La Folie de Jour earned her major popularity. Her outrageous performances made her the most photographed woman in the world and by 1927 she earned more than any entertainer in Europe. She bought a castle in France, and spent a lot of her money on clothes and pets. She owned a leopard, a chimp, a baby pig, a goat, a snake, a parrot, multiple parakeets, fish, 3 cats and 7 dogs. In the 1930s she starred in two movies, "Zou-Zou" and "Princess Tam-Tam".
When the World War II struck, Josephine helped by performing for the troops, working for the Red Cross, and as a sub-lieutenant in the Women's Auxiliary Air Force. She received military honors for her undercover work for the French Resistance. As a celebrity, she would pass through country borders easily, to slip important information written on her music sheets in invisible ink.
On dit sa histoire de la vie dans le film "l'histoire de Baker de Josephine". Un long tube militaire mince de modèle est caché dans le cimetière de Josephine, également connu localement en tant que cimetière de la Chapelle du Roseau. Le récipient est assez grand pour tenir quelques petits articles commerciaux. La meilleure approche est du nord, particulièrement après humide conditions climatiques.
