Her family was extremely poor, during a period of constant racial persecution against black people. She dropped out of school to become a maid (she was a child). After an early and failed marriage, she had already lived several lives by the time she was twenty.<\/p>\n<p>Everything changed when she joined a group of street musicians, where she found her calling. It wasn&#8217;t hard to go unnoticed: she was beautiful, young, sensual, and above all, determined. Soon after, she moved to New York, was cast in several important musicals on Broadway, and finally landed in Paris.
