Joséphine Baker est une grande dame mais aussi tellement humble et si discrète. Au jour d'aujourd'hui est au panthéon mais il y a longtemps qu' elle aurait dû y être.

I love this interview thanks for the download. I had the immense privilege and the honor to have worked with Miss Baker in 1975 @ Bobino. I was the youngest dancer in the cast . The show was called “ Josephine “ It was based on her life story celebrating her 50 years in show business from her humble beginning in St Louis to her triumphant comeback to Bobino. She used to call me “ her little page “ (Son petit page )cause of my age ! I just turned 18 th on April 1st 1975. luckily for me I have tons of memorable pics from the show as well as unforgettable stories of this short but amazing run. ! She was extremely engaged with all of the dancers .Wanting to know everyone ‘s names .Josephine really truly care about people She was a true legend immensely talented beautiful ,elegant ,generous , humble and compassionate. Josephine had many lives and reinvented herself many times throughout her long career. Miss Baker had the perfect combination of charisma and humanity . She would bring oranges for the entire company saying “ My children you need lots Vit C for strength and energy “ She was so right cause the rehearsals were long and grueling ,,,. Bobino ‘s stage was too small to accommodate a cast of 8 boys 12 girls 3 comedians 1 little girl who played young josephine and 1 gorgeous dancer who perform the famous banana dance ! So they had to transformed the stage by expanding it including moving the orchestra to the balcony and putting additional seats in the theater and building brand new dressing rooms to accommodate such a big cast all while we were practicing in the lobby of The theater for at least 10 days ! It was bit chaotic to say the list and quite cold being mid -February But no one seemed to care it was so exciting to be part of this legendary show ! Even though None of the big Paris music ‘halls like Le Casino de Paris ,Le Moulin Rouge or les Folies Bergère wanted to take the risk producing Miss baker mostly for insurance purposes There were already rumors circulating of her failing health but a small theater by Paris left bank called Bobino took a chance ...Josephine liked to rehearsed late at night after we were done practicing. She even enjoyed having her favorite dish Spaghetti bolognese around 1 am at a restaurant right across the theater. I was one of the lucky one to have diner with her and only few members of the cast at Jean-Claude Brialy ‘s restaurant called L’ Orangerie where Josephine would reminisce on her career. Saying humbly “Well I was lucky I just had a great body and nice smile “ !!! I Could believe how down to earth she was. I will never forget the very first time I saw her performing once the stage was finally ready. That night She was in the audience watching us dancing with huge smile on her face applauding many times throughout being so proud of the cast. After all she was watching part of her whole life story in front of her eyes. ... In fact during the promotion of the show a French journalist asked her. “ How does it feel to see your life story being played in front you and starring in your own life musical ? She replied “ it’s wonderful At least i will see what they think of me when I am still alive !!!! I When we were done the director Andre levasseur said “ josephine c ‘ est a vous “ she jumped on stage and belt a song from the Brazilian number called” Que c‘est bon de vivre” She seemed to be completely possessed by the rhythm of the Afro Cuban sound very reminiscing of “Princess Tam-Tam “ all those years earlier ...Her moves were so unbelievable. Her body was in perfect shape specially in her Chanel suit !!!! There is No way you would have guessed that this beautiful lady was in her late 60 ‘s. A goddess still !!!! What thrill for me. A true master CLASS ,,,,,, My very first contact with Josephine was when she almost fell from the stairs for the folie Bergere number. I was there to catch her hand very tightly and she gave me a nod and huge smile. Right after she came in the wing and asked my age ? I replied I am 18. She asked does your mom know you are here. I said “she surely does and she is so proud that I am dancing with you “ !!!!!! We rehearsed the show for about 1 month and half . We actually did more than 4 performances. We started with one week of previews on March 25 th special Press night on April 2 Nd. to glorious reviews ! We had another full week of performances with a big opening gala on April 8 th with stars like Grace Kelly’s Sophia Loren & Alain Delon. We had another performance on the 9 th but She felt into a coma on the 10 th and past in the early hours on the 12 th. I was invited to her funeral at l ‘eglise de la Madeleine The service was extremely beautiful and so very emotional I went to Monaco cemetery recently to pay my respect for this Grande Dame 46 years later. Josephine paved the way for the Diana Ross Madonna Beyoncé and many other artists. A true legend. Unparalleled. ❤️❤️❤️. La Bakair Forever. 🍌 💃 🕺

Très bel interview de madame Joséphine Baker (Saint-Louis Juin 1906=Paris Avril 1975).- J’ignore la date exacte de cet interview, mais ce qui est triste c’est que je sais que l’année suivante cette grande chanteuse, actrice,et ambassadrice de la mode française décédait avant même de réaliser son rêve d’être grand-mère!!!- Madame Joséphine Baker est entrée le 30 Novembre 2021 au Panthéon de la renommée française!!!- Cette date est très symbolique puisque Joséphine Baker devenait citoyenne française à l’âge de trente-et-un ans le 30 Novembre 1937!!!- Viviane (18-01-2022)

"Essayer de faire comprendre l'importance de l'unité aux gens plutôt que la séparation". Une phrase de Mme Baker qui prend tout son sens en cette période "sanitaire" et qui aurait eu le mérite de figurer dans le discours du Panthéon.

@@icursemystarsinbittergrief Absolutely got french nationality. She moved to france at 19 and rarely went back to america, and she even renounced her american nationality out of conviction (mostly because of the unchecked racism and rise in power of the KKK at the time). SHE SPIED ON THE GERMANS FOR THE RESISTANCE, which is more than a lot of the french population at the time can say. The lady was more french than some born and raised french people, on top of being a very wise and brave woman. (this isn't french hate on my part btw, I'M FRENCH, it's more admiration for her)
