Josephine Baker
A dancer and singer - and even a spy! -Josephine Baker was all the rage and scandal in 1920s Paris, especially after she performed her "Danse Sauvage" at the Folies Bergère. She wore only a string of pearls, wrist cuffs, and a skirt of 16 rubber bananas! Born Freda Josephine McDonald in St Louis MO to Carrie McDonald (adopted by Richard and Elvira McDonald, formerly enslaved) and possibly Eddie Carson (a vaudeville drummer) although there is a suspicion that her father may have been Carrie's German employer, Josephine grew up poor. Her mother married Arthur Martin later but he didn't usually have a job so her mother took in laundry to keep the family afloat. From this marriage, Josephine had 3 half siblings, Arthur, Marguerite and Willie. Working as household help and a waitress and living on the streets in her very early teens, Josephine began busking as a street-corner dancer. She met and married Willie Wells at age 13 but the marriage lasted less than a year. Then at age 15 (1921), she married Willie Baker. Although they divorced in 1925, she kept "Baker" as her surname for the rest of her life. (She married twice more, Jean Lion 1937 - 1940 and Jo Bouillon (1947 - 1961) and had another relationship from 1973 - 1975 with Robert Brady). None of her relationship lasted long. At age 15, Josephine moved to New York and became a highly paid dancer but true fame came when she went to Paris (her home for the rest of her life). She later said of her first time in Paris ""No, I didn't get my first break on Broadway. I was only in the chorus in 'Shuffle Along' and 'Chocolate Dandies'. I became famous first in France in the twenties. I just couldn't stand America and I was one of the first colored Americans to move to Paris. Oh yes, Bricktop was there as well. Me and her were the only two, and we had a marvellous time. Of course, everyone who was anyone knew Bricky. And they got to know Miss Baker as well." In Paris, she danced practically nude (for instance, wearing just a skirt of fake bananas) and appearing onstage with her pet cheetah. Ernest Hemingway called her ""the most sensational woman anyone ever saw." After another marriage to a Frenchman, Josephine became a citizen of France. When France declared war on Germany (WW2), she was recruited as a spy for the French, charming German high officials at parties and passing on the information she gathered. After the war, Baker received the Croix de guerre and the Rosette de la Résistance. She was made a Chevalier of the Légion d'honneur by General Charles de Gaulle. After the War, she returned to performing as well becoming a supporter of the Civil Rights Movement. After she and her (Caucasian) husband were refused reservations at 36 hotels in NYC, she wrote articles and traveled in the US South speaking out about racial discrimination and refusing to perform in front of segregated audiences. During her lifetime, she adopted 12 children of different backgrounds who she called her "Rainbow Tribe." Her last performance was on April 8, 1975 - a star-studded gala attended by the likes of Prince Rainier, Princess Grace, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Sophia Loren, Mick Jagger, Shirley Bassey, Diana Ross, and Liza Minnelli. Josephine was found our days later, reportedly "lying peacefully in her bed surrounded by newspapers with glowing reviews of her performance". In a coma after suffering a cerebral hemorrhage, she was taken to Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital, where she died, at age 68, on 12 April 1975.

Dear everyone,
My name's Antonio and write from an Italian city.
I decided with a lot of shyness to write you.
I have always been a great fan of martial arts movie especially about Bruce Lee ones. In one of Bruce Lee movie there was an actor called Robert Bob ( some guys called him Huckabaa) Baker. I don't know a lot of him. I know that probably he was born in the Bay Area California and had the chance to work out with Bruce Lee ( he wasn't so famous again) and James Yimm Lee in Oakland,Ca during the 60s.
Probably he moved in L.A.
I think he was born in Bay area too in 1940 and died in 1993.
Hope you can help me.

The following tribute to Ellis Baker was published on DAILY CELEBRATIONS at


ELLIS ADRIAN BAKER
November 17, 1917 - April 18, 2000


Today we celebrate the life of Ellis Adrian Baker, born November 17, 1917, in North Bend Lumber Camp, Nicholas County, West Virginia. His death on April 18, 2000, made the world a poorer place but heaven immensely richer.

For the last forty years of his life, “Mr. Baker," as he was known, was a simple man with simple needs. He was one of those genuine “characters” that small-town America sometimes produces. He tended cattle; he tended bees; but most of all, he tended people.

One of his sisters said she always thought Ellis should have been a priest. Actually, he was a priest of sorts. Found in his wallet after his death was a beat-up old crucifix made of the basest sort of metal, tarnished on the side: an apt symbol, for his mission was to the poor, the different, the r*******, the unaccepted, the widow.

He never owned a home. At least that’s how the world saw it. Actually, he had two “homes”...his electric shop on Monroe Street in Alderson, West Virginia, where anyone of any race, class or social standing was welcome, and his “home” at Alderson Hospitality House, a Christian mission to the families of women in the Federal Prison at Alderson.

He never married, nor had children. But other people’s children loved him. They could sense that he was an authentic person. Nothing phony there! A little girl once told him, “You sure are ugly.” He just grinned, and in about a minute, that little girl was sitting on his lap, talking as though she had found her best friend. And she probably had.

If he had two of anything, he would give one away. His blood relatives knew that if they gave him anything for his birthday or Christmas, most likely he would give it to someone else. He gave his time, his talent, his labor, and most of his money away.

There are lots of “Mr. Baker” stories, some just now coming to light. One woman related the story of how her first husband was killed, leaving her a widow with small children. When her washing machine broke down, “Mr. Baker” fixed it but wouldn’t take any money, saying “This will help you out a little.” No one will ever know just how many people he helped. He never bragged. He never boasted. He just went quietly about his life, helping those who happened across his path.

At eighty-two years of age, he was often found late in the evening working on someone’s furnace, most likely for free. By the world’s standards, he was a poor man. He died with a few dollars in his battered wallet and a few meager possessions in the room that had been his home for thirty-five years.

Ellis could have been a very wealthy man, and at one time, had a Lincoln Continental, a motorcycle, and a closet full of expensive suits and shoes. But somewhere along the way, he gave up that life. From then on, he traveled “light." For those who knew and loved him, he was the closest thing to a saint most of us will ever know.

Regarding family stories, I don't really know many. I do recall a few
stories that Great Grandpa Berry Baker told me about his youth.

One was about a time when his family was relocating.

Grandpa Baker said he couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 and they were
traveling by wagon train. He said he had made friends with a couple of boys
about his same age they were suppose to gather fire wood as the train rolled
during the day. They would gather what they could find and each would throw
it into a designated section on his family's wagon. Depending on the
terrain, they might have to go a little ways out from the wagons and then
run to catch up. One day the boys got to playing and not paying attention
and all of a sudden there was this Indian on horseback in front of them.
Grandpa said the Indian spoke English as well as anyone and he asked the
boys weren't they a little farther away from the wagons than they were
supposed to be. Grandpa said the three of them looked around and couldn't
see anything of the train, not even a little dark spec. The youngest boy
started to cry and all three of them thought they were going to be scalped.
Grandpa said "this big Indian" slid off his horse and squatted down so that
he was eye level with the little boy who was crying and reassured him that
everything was going to be ok and that he knew where the wagon train was and
he would take all of them back. He then put all three boys on the back of
his horse and walked beside them as he lead the horse to the wagon train.

By the time they got back, it was near dusk and too dangerous for them to go
search for firewood. Since the boys had been playing, there was no firewood
to cook with that night so their families had to eat jerky and drink water
for supper. The Indian ate a good hot stew with the wagon master, and left
in the morning when the train left out at sunrise following breakfast. The
boys and their families also got jerky and water for breakfast and lunch
because there were no leftovers from the previous night's supper or that
morning's breakfast.

Supper usually consisted of hot coffee, a good hot stew made either with
some jerky, a rabbit, squirrel or some other small animal or beans (for an
extra special treat a few small chunks of salt pork might be in the beans),
adding some greens and roots picked by the females they walked and tasty hot
cornbread. For breakfast, they usually had hot coffee, lard fried
flapjacks, maybe some molasses, and maybe some fried salt pork or if they
had some left over cornbread from supper the kids had that mixed with hot
water and a little molasses--a sort of hot cereal dish. Or on a real special
occasion, the kids might have some freshly made cornmeal mush with a little
molasses for breakfast. Lunch usually consisted of cold flapjacks leftover
from that mornings' breakfast with either jerky or cold beans, providing the
beans had been meatless the night before, and water to drink.

Grandpa said he and his two friends never again lost sight of the wagons or
played instead of gathering firewood for a number of reasons. Among the
reasons were; one, for a growing, active little boy jerky and water is not
enough, especially when that little boy could smell the food cooking at the
other wagons. Another reason was, the boys had let their families down -
everybody in the family went hungry because they had neglected their chore.
But primarily, meeting up with that Indian had scared the daylights out of
them.
