Ruth Negga will star as Josephine Baker in a new limited series

The television drama is being developed for ABC Signature by LeBron James's entertainment brand, The SpringHill Company. There is hardly a shortage of famous figures born of the Roaring Twenties (F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ma Rainey, Ernest Hemingway, Duke Ellington, George Gershwin, the list goes on), all of whom left indelible marks on art, culture, fashion, music and literature. But perhaps few of these towering greats took on such a multi-hyphenate role as Josephine Baker.
