The Josephine Baker Story.
“Her starring role in
The Josephine Baker Story is what gave her the wide recognition she so well earned,” Union continues. “The biopic required her to age from 18 to 68 and portray a Folies Bergère star, a French Resistance fighter during World War II, and a civil rights activist. It’s no wonder the awards and nominations came pouring in after this.”
Union also revealed Whitfield was “in post-production” for the upcoming film
Vacation Friends and gearing up to celebrate her 68th birthday in May.
“So everyone send some love to this Hollywood gem. Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there #blackhistorymonth,” Union concluded.
