- Josephine Baker in a relaxed English interview with Erik Bye for Norwegian TV, talking about life and her children. The studio is bare with no audience, due to a strike. It continued with three songs, here: - • Josphine Baker - three... In 2021, President Macron of France agreed that Josephine Baker, who was born in Missouri in 1906 and buried in Monaco in 1975, would be the first Black woman to be laid to rest in the hallowed Parisian monument, the PanthéonMausoleum.

She would’ve been 65 here. Insane. The level of energy and vibrancy. So youthful. She looks so stylish and trim even then.
64.
she seems wired
@Shallow Terrestrial …Honey, back in the 70’s we were all coked up. I’m 63 y/o and lived through that time period!! 🤭
lol this is some take. vibrancy? she is hyper & definitely on something. she cant stop talking. She says she is 64. as for her look im sure if you took away the big shades & terrible wig youd see her age. Theres other pics taken round this time where she looks her age. cause she died just 4 years later
@@en6278 That wig looks lovely. I mean you can tell it's a wig but it's far from looking terrible.
She speaks as beautifully as she appears. Her smile is the most beautiful smile I've ever seen, and she just overflows of delight. What a wonderful soul.
@taurus Such a kind comment and I agree!
Beautifully said, she was a true Gem 💎
♊
Sensitive, thoughtful , aware and poised.
Grace under pressure.
What impressed me most is that her being a free spirit shines through.
So much joy and wisdom…breathtaking beauty. What a delightful voice and when she sings it’s angelic.
This is my first time hearing her voice. She sounds so amazing so happy.
She reminds me of everyone’s lovable, eccentric aunt!🙏😝😘👍
She really does remind me of my aunts. 😁
Reminds she had a cheetah that she hanged out with in Paris back in the day 😂 had a castle with a radio and weapons stash during ww2 too 😂 definetly a cool aunt
Yes. She is eccentric for sure. Talented but definitely high energy
She would be lovely as Auntie Mame!!
My age belongs to me. Thank you Josephine. I'll be using that from now on. ❤
I have the feeling that I could listen to her for an entire day. Would have loved to grab a glass with her! ☺️💗
She was very charming and charismatic. Lynn Whitfield did an amazing job portraying her.
Josephine is absolutely divine! So ahead of her time.
I love that she was such an animal lover. 🐾🐾🐾
I admire Josephine! Humanitarian, civil rights activist who love her country who didn’t love her back.
J’adore Josephine ça super !!
She looks great-64 years young! Whoa.
"I believe that every human being has something good in them."
This was a SUPER soul. A gift from heaven to help during a dark time in human history. ! I hope to have her optimism in the face of such ugliness. May she be blessed on her souls' journey!🎉🙏🏾💚🌏💎💃🏾
She's a real life hero !! Hats off to this wonderful woman. ❤🇮🇳🙏
“My age belongs to me”……ICONIC ❤
She started talking immediately man she’s an extrovert
Drugs
@@L_Train 😂😂
@@L_Train She dated a bus load of white men so I wouldn't doubt it if she was on drugs during this interview
She was a Gemini
Such a Goddess, the original 🥰🥰⚘️⚘️
She is one of my top three people that I would love to have dinner with love her so much
My goodness the Charisma of this woman I have not seen such a charming person before I am utterly captivated and enchanted by her presence no wonder why people went crazy for her
Such a beautiful woman so proud so great full. She was truly a real diva. She truly was wonderful 64 and jazzy. She lived the life and gave her life. May she rest in peace. She lived life and people marvelous.
The beginning of Pop. Josephine! Spoke many languages. Straight up girl from around the way. She is legend!
I wish another movie would be made about this amazing woman. Lynn Witfield did a good job, but this woman is owed a few movies about her life. HBO. STARZ This woman had DRIVE. So sad she wanted to save the world. A world for children . She had a Huge HEART for children. I believe this woman is enjoying her second journey somewhere in another dimension.
Im glad the people of Norway and France embraced Josephine so she could show her potential and come back to say beautiful things like this.
They weren't racists like America mostly was then.
A very classy, elegant, dignified woman.
she has such a fun and loving personality! she is so precious 🥺💕
Black women are amazing. We have a way of making everyone love us. ❤
So charming and graceful and honest.
I have always loved this woman ever since I found out about her in 1993
OMG I love ❤️ her accent 🥰I wish I could have met her. She was absolutely the greatest singer, dancer 💃🏽 and performer. Just an all around awesome 😎 woman. God bless your soul Josephine 🙋🏽♀️💕
And a spy, a secret agent, in WW2.
I Was Reading the Art of Seduction by Robert Green...she was Recognized in his book. 💜
Free, like me. Love my ancestors who paved the way.
A real one. God bless Josephine Baker
1:47 she was insanely youthful WOW just beautiful Wow
So upbeat and positive and puts positive spins on everything... She is the original SADE
What a truly beautiful woman such a warm personality, i absolutely love her xx
3:40 "time flies I dont count the time" she flows she glows
Thank you for posting this! Love her so very much, and this is probably the best interview/performance I've ever seen of her - her energy, joi de vivre & enthusiasm was through the roof.
Glad you enjoyed it! Your description is spot-on!
Yes! Very well stated. So, full of life. It seems like she would have easily lived to 100. But, we are so lucky to have had her for as long as we did! 🙏
Amazing interview
what a lovely woman
She looks absolutely fabulous ❤️🥰
I just found out she was a spy and Allie. Holy crap she was an amazing HERO!
Just reading a book called “The Flame of Resistance” about her war time work. Very brave lady.
It’s nice to see & hear Josephine in real life.
What a incredible & talented woman so was. ❤
I m glad you read the book I am in it I was Josephine last dance partner in 1975 at Bobino ❤
What a lovely interview
Graceful!
Love Josephine Baker!!! Love her music❤🎶 Beautifully talented!!
Wow, I ve heard about this Lady, but I did not Know exactly who she was, now I can tel, that she was so, sweet, clever, sweet smile, and a lot empathy, good talking, and lovely outgoing, what a pity she s gone, now I can say What a great person was Josephine Baker.....as A Brazilian fan I just fond of what shw really shown being a very very Nice Woman......
Thank you for posting!
This is a great video of a great artist and Herman being.❤❤❤❤
Shes amazing ! 💖
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful interview! I ❤️ and admire her greatly! Trailblazer. Queen.❤️
She was fantastic! Love so much her!
Well she just seems like a ray of sunshine.
What a positive person she was, amongst everything else - I hadn't heard her talk in conversation before, thanks for posting 🙂👍
What a lovely woman!! God!! To have been a spy during such a scary time! all the while actually talented celebrity & to look good while doing it! ❤️ Rest her radiant soul
I think they liked eachother ALOT! And she was not on drugs! She looked marvelous for her age! ❤
Merci for sharing the REAL Josephine Baker- in street clothes! What a charming, 64- ! She loves animals and they her- and that's good because animals know. She adopted kids- is there a FAN out there who knows of a good biography, or an autobiography? A fascinating woman! Always loved her dancing- I hope she called the shots- Europe appeared to embrace her, sincerely and she appears happy, 64! Erudite, witty, and ahead of Mia and Angelina- no kids of her own? So she adopted from all over- now that's what money is for, not gemstones as she said, she sparkles! Thanks for sharing, the woman not dancing, still enticing. Namaste from Ontario ( what she said about wounded lovers...war...I need a time machine, take the power from politicians-her mindset would bring about a wonderful world, like Louie Armstrong and Ella's Fitzgerald sang...)
So elegent and 💪
What a nice, comfortable interview.
Hey folks, here's a newsflash, 64 isn't old. I remember seeing her in vogue magazine in the early 1970s photographed at high end parties...
Amazing
What a fabulous woman.
What a charming woman. She is amazing.
Beautiful and talented
Respect Josephine 🙏
A true legend of her time
I like her so very much.
I LOVE HER!!!!! She was so elegant
Was beautiful still at a older age & can tell really classy.
You like it!!!...Beautiful Jewels...
she is just effortlessly fabulous! I have never seen someone who just IS fabulous ! she just IS and always will be #Salute Queen Mother gODess Josephine Baker! :D
64??? heyell naw! more like 46!
Too talkative for my taste. She sounds a bit neurotic to me
@@lepetitchat123 too talkative on a talk show? How is she coming off as irritable or pessimistic
Jo was so cool. A natural beauty.
What a personality
She wasn’t giving 65 she’s so vibrant and young here
He could have pulled the chair out for her 😇
What an insanely hot 65 year old no way wow shes just ageless!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Athletes are like that she was a natural athlete & a genius :)*
We remember her I. SalA KONGRESOWA BARNIE W PALACU KULTURY.W 1970❤vylamm nA SHOW.
She seemed so nice.
Yeah so nice that she kicked out Jarry a short time after this was shown.
That was a whole lot of word salad.
I have an album The Monterey Pop Music Festival. And the Mamas and the Papas live version of "California Dreaming" has Mama Cass giving a little intro, and i swear they bith spund so similar.
Big Gemini energy
Nobody cares about star signs.
@@bakedbeans5494 and nobody cares about you
@@bakedbeans5494 no fr😭
Yes, I had to look at her chart to see what this amazing woman was dealt astrologically... she had a stellium of 5 planets in gemini in her tenth house of career, absolutely destined to be well known.
Norwegians are very uncomfortable with compliments it seems XD she is captivating, I could listen to her all day
Has anybody noticed how correctly she's speaking?
For someone who left school at 12, married at 13 (again at 15), was a homeless child street entertainer, she is very cultured! A very sharp mind and a quick learner; in the 'school of the street' she lived on her wits and continued that way. Such an inspiration.
@@GazelyGaze I'm amazed. ❤️ Today people speak broken English to be "cool"
How is she supposed to speak?
@@tequilasmith5510 Like she does. Not like Yo yo, what up.. Dey be smok dat sh))t NI99a. Not like that. Get it? You are ashamed of street talking idiots but you want to put it on me. Fix them if you feel ashamed.
Josephine is also my mom's name!
I found out about her through boys 2 men video it's so hard to say goodbye
dogs, dont dig unlikeable people...they sense, bad energy. But you can tell she had a warm spirit. A great woman who was wayyyyyyy ahead of her time. Lady GaGa?...Beyonce'?...Madonna?....Grace Jones?...this is the person that you ladies owe a debt of gratitude to.
:)* 8:00 "if they have the possibility people can be extremely good" she says with he cute elegant hands embracing
The art of conversation really has been lost. I wish I could carry a conversation a gracefully as she does.
and exceptional from someone who left school at 11, became a street-child and existing from street-corner dancing. Married at 13... again at 15 - her backstory is amazing.
Jeosephine Baker for ever!!!
My age BELONGS TO ME💪🏾🤍💪🏾🤍💪🏾🤍💪🏾🤍💪🏾Ive lived by this moto since I was 18 I’m 43 now and still look 18😁💪🏾🙏🏾Ppl really think my 23yr old and my 19yr old are my brother and sister 😂😂😂
Great; hold onto your youthful self forever!
The Potatoes from Norway!!
Damn she was still fine in the 70's
Diana Ross has truly been influenced by the great Josephine Baker.
Yes, along with many, many others! Eg. Shirley Bassey said: "I swear in all my life I have never seen, and probably never shall see again, such a spectacular singer and performer."
But she didn't have what Josephine had....
I worked with 3 of them . Ross Baker Bassey ! 2 were kind generous compassionate. The other one was rude obnoxious nasty. You figure who that was 😄
@@raycurry4168 Diana Ross is a Legend. Diana Ross is 78 and still singing and touring to sold out crowds. Josephine Baker is and never was on Diana Ross level period.
@@davidmoody1235diana didn't get that with talent
to think she was a spy for the allies in WW2. like how freaking epic is that.
I need Ruth Negga to do the biopic on the tremendous woman.
It's so funny how much people are appreciated once they leave this earth. She wasn't respected in the US as a black entertainer.
Qué mujer tan bella...(¿65, serio?)
She's so tiny. I always thought she was a tall woman.
Indeed!!
She looks tiny because Erik Bye, the interviewer is so tall (197 cm)
@Klim Chung I didn't know that, half my family is gay. I'm disheartened. I'll remove the gift part.
@Klim Chung Unfortunately, to me that speaks volumes. Take Care, Peace.
Sometimes I forgot Josephine Baker could speak southern English. I thought she only spoke French 🤣
I've been asked in the past who I'd like to talk to if I could talk to someone who's no longer alive. For the longest time I didn't have an answer.
I have my answer now.
She's exhausting.
She is like some big spirit in funny body
He needs to let her talk
