There will never be another Josephine Baker. Not only did she have 1000 marriage proposals, but her sixteen banana skirt got her the attention of Ernest Hemingway and Pablo Picasso. Choreographer and dancer, Julian Marvin Swain, recalled his time with Ms. Josephine in his HistoryMakers interview: “We were a fill-in act for her when she went back to St. Louis [Missouri]. She had been away for twenty-five years. She had been born in St. Louis, and she decided to go back to St. Louis to shock 'em after her twenty-five years in Paris and she did quite a few stellar performances. She played New York…she played Chicago…she was fabulous...”.

Josephine Baker opened her very own cabaret, Chez Josephine, in Paris in 1926, where she would often make a grand entrance at the club at midnight after an earlier performance at one of Paris’ larger musical halls. In 2017, this landmark establishment was closed and replaced by a hip bar “Le Carrousel”. A plaque commemorating Baker’s cabaret and legacy was unveiled in 2019 near the original site of Chez Josephine. Let her legacy live on as portrayed by actress Lyn Whitfield in the 1991 HBO production The Josephine Baker Story.”
