Hollywood Actors That Don't Get Cast Anymore

Josephine Baker

Baker was famous in the 1920s from her famous “banana skirt” dance. She had dual citizenship in France and America but was accused of engaging in communist rhetoric, so she was banned from re-entering America. Several years later, she was allowed to return with her 12 adopted children, but instead, she took a permanent residence in France.
