Freda Josephine McDonald also known as Josephine Baker was born in Louis, Missouri on June 3, 1906. Josephine had a loving mother, two brothers, and a sister. Josephine’s dream was to dance, but she had a few problems with racism. She fought back to get justice and she did. Later on within her life she adopted kids and had had many spouses.

Instead of shunning them, Baker appreciated the differences that distinguished cultures and embraced

Judy Garlands career has brought a rollercoaster of emotions throughout the years from her rise to fame starting at thirteen until her gradual decrease in beginning in her early thirties. Garland’s was promoted as “the all-American, girl next door image that… accounted for her… pre-1950 appeal” (156). The roles that Garland play in her early career resembles a small town girl that defies all odds to ultimately become successful or fall in love. Tabloids covered everything she did because people loved her bright teen spirit that was exposed to the public. However, as Garland became older her parts in movies shifted from a girl battling the odds in the world toward more of a tomboy role, which took away from her sexuality as a woman. As
