Outrageous, shocking, sensational- Josephine Baker (Lynn Whitfield) was born poor, but achieved fame and fortune through her sizzlingly exotic and erotic performances. Starting life on the American Vaudeville circuit, success Josephine to Paris where her semi-nude dancing causes an international sensation. Through her marriages to Italian pseudo-count (Ruben Blades) and orchestra leader (David Dukes), to her bond with army officer Sidney Williams (Louis Gosset, Jr.), Josephine's life is a roller coaster ride of love and rejection from both her lovers and her country. But semi-nude or head to toe in sequins; in battle fatigues or rags- her beauty and ambition ensured that Josephine Baker will always be remembered as the first, and possibly most loved, truly international star.
