JOSEPHINE BAKER: Born in 1906 into a very poor background and abused by a woman she worked for, she ended up living on the streets of St Louis at the age of 12. Here she learned to dance and was hired for the St. Louis Chorus vaudeville show at 15 before leaving for New York where she soon became known as “the highest-paid chorus girl in vaudeville.” in 1925 she danced in Paris at the 'Theatre des Champs Elysees', and became well known for her dancing, ending up at the Folies Bergeres.
