Blind Item #11 - Mr. X - Old Hollywood
The songstress/actress who spent much of her career overseas because she was more accepted had a great hook when she married the guy who was a fake Count. He was really her "broker."

Josephine Baker
Jean Lion for the husband?(she had four)
Lynn Whitman was smoking hot playing her in that HBO movie
Whitfield. Mea culpa.
Beautiful woman. Her voice.... listen to it forever. Used to frequent a place in NYC called Chez Josephine which was(is?) an homage to her. Not sure it’s still there.
Hommage*
Check out her wikipedia pic, it's like old time instagram yachter 😅
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephine_Baker
A yachter who worked for the French Resistance and campaigned for civil rights
And found time to raise a Rainbow Tribe....what a life !
She passed in 1975 and her son Jean-Claude opened it in 1986, so she didn't exactly frequent it. It is still there.
Don't hurt Josephine!
You got homage right the first time, Tricia. :)
I frequented it
Didn’t think that was easily misconstrued.. but oh wells
Nah the alternative spelling is more aptly applied when the tribute is expressively done in the style of the person being honored- like Chez Josephine is ...
The husband is , "Count" Pepito Abatino
. At the start of her career in France, Baker met a Sicilian former stonemason who passed himself off as a count, who persuaded her to let him manage her.[19] Giuseppe Pepito Abatino was not only Baker's management, but her lover as well.
its straight off her wikipedia
@Tricia13
I went there as well and it was a great place! It's still open too!
Thank you @SassyRican:) Haven’t has occasion or been by in years since I haven’t lived in NYC for a long time. Jean Claude was always so lovely and hospitable.. had an theatre event or 2 there . Wonderful
Way to honor his Mom...
Sorry, I didn't realize you were referring to yourself.
No worries. Considering I know a bit about her, her music son and personal history; enough anyway, to know she was the answer, it’s likely I wouldn’t refer her as hanging out in a boite long after her death.::
Wow. Worried about the usage of "homage," and pays no attention to punctuation.
Homme-age.
He's 46
But if he kicks another female photographer in the face
He won't get much older.
😁📷
Do explain and please feel free to write it as you feel it should be written.
I'm genuinely interested.
