6. Josephine Baker

Imagine being a young entertainer by birth. Your lifestyle revolves around traveling with your parents and jumping on stage every now and then. The problem? You live in the midwest, you’re black, and it’s the early 1900’s. Eventually, you leave your small town and relocate to good ole New York during the Harlem Renaissance. You become one of the brightest stars in French entertainment, all while being a spy during WWII. This is the story of Josephine Baker.
