FKA Twigs To Star In Josephine Baker Biopic.

“She lives on in our hearts as a visionary, ground-breaking woman whose story is as powerful as it is relevant today,” singer said.

FKA twigs is set to portray legendary entertainer and activist Josephine Baker in an upcoming biopic about Baker’s extraordinary life.

Baker was far more than a performer — she was a global icon known for her groundbreaking cabaret performances in Paris, her work with the French Resistance during World War II, and her role in the American Civil Rights Movement. She became one of the first Black international superstars and remains a symbol of artistic freedom and courage.

Speaking about the project, FKA twigs said:

“She lives on in our hearts as a visionary, ground-breaking woman whose story is as powerful as it is relevant today.”

The casting has generated excitement because FKA twigs is known for her highly artistic performances, dance background, and avant-garde style, which many fans believe match Baker’s bold stage presence and unconventional spirit.

The film is expected to explore:

Baker’s rise from poverty to international fame, her influence on music and fashion, her activism against racism, and her remarkable life in France.

Josephine Baker was also the first Black woman inducted into France’s Panthéon mausoleum in 2021, honoring her national significance in France.
