I am guilty of getting to know Josephine over the distance
of seven to eight decades and I know now to my chagrin that
I had smugly misjudged her. My previous impression was that
she used her sexuality as her main reach toward fame and stardom
but lo, the truth be known, that she appears somewhat childlike
in her comfort with her native state. Her usage of that aspect
was more a byproduct of who she was than the whimsical and fresh
nature of her character and her fabulous gifts of dance, song,
and acting that made her a true superstar. As one watches Josephine
in the old movies my impression of her, the respect and affection
for her has increased immeasurably and I see her as truly a
star of the first magnitude.
