Josephine Baker. Entertainer and Activist. Princess Tam Tam. by Travis Simpkins

Princess Tam Tam (1935): Josephine Baker

     Directed by Edmond T. Greville, Princess Tam Tam (1935) sought to capitalize on the screen success Josephine Baker had the previous year in the starring role of Zouzou (1934). The story focuses on a Tunisian peasant girl who is educated and introduced to Parisian high society. An interesting parallel comes when the girl becomes an exotic artistic muse in Europe, becoming the inspiration for paintings and sculptures, much as Josephine Baker had in real life. The whole cast does a wonderful job but as usual, it is Josephine Baker that is the true star of the production, delivering memorable musical and dance performances.

Zouzou (1934): Josephine Baker

     Directed by Marc Allegret, Zouzou (1934) is historic in that it was the first major motion picture to feature a black woman in the starring role. The film was designed as a vehicle for Josephine Baker, the expatriate African American, who was then hitting her stride as one of the top entertainers in Europe. The story concerns two half-siblings that grew up in the circus, and the girl later becomes a dance hall star to gain wealth in order to save the save the troubled brother when he is falsely accused of murder. Josephine Baker's memorable performance while perched in a bird cage is a Classic moment in 1930's cinema.
