THEY'RE DOING IT NOW ........ BUT WE DID IT FIRST!

Angelina's doing it now ... adopting children from different races and various walks of life. And she's moving them all to a home in the former French territory ... NEW ORLEANS.
(yeah, even her new home is a statement!)

BUT JOSEPHINE BAKER DID IT FIRST...

Between 1954 and 1965 Josephine Baker adopted ten sons and two daughters of various races and nationalities - the family she called her Rainbow Tribe. Baker planned to retire from show business to raise her children at Les Milandes, her French chateau, but her savings were not enough to support the entire family in the style to which she was accustomed.

The expenses eventually sent her into deep debt, and when her beloved chateau was seized in 1969, the family was forced to move into a much smaller villa given to them by Princess Grace of Monaco. (We always did like that Grace Kelly!)
