Q: I recently saw a rerun of The Josephine Baker Story, about the African-American cabaret singer who took Paris by storm in the 1920s and '30s. I know she adopted a lot of children. Have any of them gone into show business? - Clifton Fields, Lexington, KY.
A: "I'm the only one," says singer Jean-Claude Baker, 60. He's also the only one of the 13 multinational children in what Josephine Baker called her "Rainbow Tribe" who never was legally adopted. (She adopted eight, and her husband adopted four after her death in 1975.) Jean-Claude and Baker's son Jarry, 50, run a restaurant in Manhattan called Chez Josephine. One son lives in Argentina, and the other surviving siblings remain in France, where Baker died at 68.
