Josephine Baker

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

Josephine Baker gets kiss from Geoffrey Holder in 1964. Likely backstage at "Josephine Baker And Her Company," her musical revue that briefly appeared on Broadway that year.
 
Both Mr. Holder and his wife Carmen de Lavallade performed in the show.

Photo: Josephine Baker getting a little kiss from Geoffrey Holder in 1964. I'm guessing this is probably backstage at "Josephine Baker And Her Company," her musical revue that appeared briefly on Broadway that year. Both Mr. Holder and his wife Carmen de Lavallade performed in the show with Ms. Baker and, in the video clip linked in the comment section, Mr. Holder discusses, with his signature verve, what a delight it was for he and Ms. de Lavallade to work with Ms. Baker.
