Friday, August 03, 2007 Doing some research on the net lead me to reading about an amazing woman born in 1906 who lived until 1975. Her name is Josephine Baker. :) For many people, Josephine Baker's name will always evoke a familiar, controversial image: the "black Venus" naked on stage, except for a string of bananas around her waist, dancing to African drums before her white Parisian audiences. It was this image that first made Baker a star, one whose international fame lasted for five decades. When she died, twenty thousand people came to her Paris funeral in mourning.
Occupation: African American expatriate dancer, singer, and entertainer. And spy. Quick Facts: * Adopted 11 children of different races, religions, and nationalities.  A couple of her quotes I like: "I wasn't really naked. I simply didn't have any clothes on." "The things we truly love stay with us always, locked in our hearts as long as life remains." Labels: Dear Diary, pictures, project
