Agent Josephine: American Beauty, French Hero, British Spy
The Incredible True Story of Josephine Baker
Josephine Baker was an American-born dancer, singer, and actress who became a French spy during World War II. She was a true triple threat, excelling in all three of her chosen fields. As a dancer, she was known for her exotic dance moves and her stunning costumes. As a singer, she had a powerful voice that could belt out a ballad or a jazz number with equal ease. And as an actress, she could play both comedy and drama with equal skill.
But it was her work as a spy that truly made Josephine Baker a legend. During World War II, she used her status as a celebrity to gather intelligence for the French Resistance. She would often perform at parties and events attended by high-ranking Nazi officers, and she would use these opportunities to eavesdrop on their conversations and pass on the information to the Resistance.
