Wonderful, historic lot of 4 items featuring Josephine Baker! She was a legendary Black performer from around the World War 2 years and beyond. She was also a French Resistance agent, and civil rights activist!
The major find here is a 3 ½ x 5 inch card ACTUALLY SIGNED by Josephine Baker! Real autograph. Also included is a modern photo postcard showing Josephine Baker’s image, a DVD (The Josephine Baker Story), and a thicker stock sheet (5x8 inches) signed by Lynn Whitfield who played Josephine Baker in the film! For this role she received an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Special. This lot would look great matted and framed and displayed. There are lots of great combinations.
As shown. Generally minor wear, minor blemishes. Baker’s autograph has an ink note beneath naming her. Minor smudge to her autograph. The DVD is tested and working. We sat back one night and watched this entire DVD – simply for quality control issues, of course. Great movie!
