The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel written by
American author F. Scott Fitzgerald that follows
a cast of characters living in the fictional towns
of West Egg and East Egg on prosperous Long
Island in the summer of 1922. Many literary
JOSEPHINE BAKER critics consider The Great Gatsby to be one of
the greatest novels ever written.

Her career was centered primarily in
Europe, mostly in her adopted France.
She was the first black woman to star in
a major motion picture, the 1927 silent
