Princess Tam Tam

(France/1932—directed by Edmond T. Gréville) 

Known as the “Black Venus” during the zenith of her popularity in the 1920s and 30s, singer, dancer, and actor Josephine Baker was the first black woman to become an international film star, and a legendary icon of beauty and rare courage. Baker achieved her success far from Hollywood; she moved to paris and appeared in silent movies there. After the introduction of sound, she starred in singing roles for French musicals including Zou-Zou (1934) and Princess Tam Tam.

Join other members of AFGP at the DIA Film Theatre and watch the film as a group. Members might want to grab dinner together afterwards at one of the many restaurants in the area (self planned).
