This photograph captures the essence of Josephine Baker, an American icon and trailblazing performer, during her appearance on television in 1975. Born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1906, Baker rose to international fame as a dancer and singer, revolutionizing the entertainment industry with her exotic and provocative performances. By the late 1960s and 1970s, Baker had become a beloved figure in Europe, where she had lived since the 1920s. In this photograph, she exudes confidence and charisma as she performs for an eager television audience. Her expressive face and animated body language convey the passion and energy that made her a sensation throughout her career.

This photograph serves as a reminder of her enduring legacy as a groundbreaking artist and cultural icon. The image is a historical treasure from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, offering a glimpse into the life and career of a remarkable woman who defied conventions and left an indelible mark on the world of entertainment.
