Long Way To Go

In not so long time Josephine had traveled a long way. For her career, for her independence, she left everything behind. St. Louis, her second husband. She took one last thing from him. Her last name- Baker. Josephine Baker was going to be the next big thing, going to take the industry and the world by a storm and not just with her dancing.

It was 1925 now, Josephine was not even 20 yet when this rising starlet decided to go to Paris. This was going to be the next major turning point not only in her career but also her life. In France, things were not as they were in America. There, Josephine performed in scandalous dance revues in the same Parisian theatres where grand ballets and opera performances took place.
