| 9 | Georges Simenon, the Belgian author of the famous "Inspector "Maigret" series of detective novels, had a short relationship with Josephine in 1925. However, he couldn't take the fact that she was more famous and in spotlight than he was, and that he had begun calling himself "Mr. Josephine", so he broke it off. |

| 14 | Inducted into the St. Louis Walk of Fame on May 20, 1990 and the Hall of Famous Missourians on March 29, 1995. |
| 15 | She adopted 12 children, partly because she couldn't have any of her own and partly because she believed in equality for all, no matter what nationality, religion or race they were of.
