      lol this is some take. vibrancy? she is hyper & definitely on something. she cant stop talking. She says she is 64. as for her look im sure if you took away the big shades & terrible wig youd see her age. Theres other pics taken round this time where she looks her age. cause she died just 4 years later

    Merci for sharing the REAL Josephine Baker- in street clothes! What a charming, 64- ! She loves animals and they her- and that's good because animals know. She adopted kids- is there a FAN out there who knows of a good biography, or an autobiography? A fascinating woman! Always loved her dancing- I hope she called the shots- Europe appeared to embrace her, sincerely and she appears happy, 64! Erudite, witty, and ahead of Mia and Angelina- no kids of her own? So she adopted from all over- now that's what money is for, not gemstones as she said, she sparkles! Thanks for sharing, the woman not dancing, still enticing. Namaste from Ontario ( what she said about wounded lovers...war...I need a time machine, take the power from politicians-her mindset would bring about a wonderful world, like Louie Armstrong and Ella's Fitzgerald sang...)
