Everything about Jackie Fox totally explained
Jackie Fox, born
Jackie Fuchs (born
December 20,
1959) was a bass guitarist of a teenage, American all-girl rock band
The Runaways. She is the sister of
Carol Fuchs and sister in law of
Castle-Rock Entertainment co-founder
Martin Shafer
Jackie Fox joined
The Runaways shortly before her sixteenth birthday in 1976, making the switch from guitar to bass. A merit scholar, Jackie was set for an early entry to UCLA to study mathematics when the opportunity to join the fledgling rock band arose. Jackie was "discovered" dancing at the famous Starwood night club by
Rodney Bingenheimer, the self-proclaimed "mayor of the
Sunset Strip," who introduced Jackie to Kim Fowley as the band was on a search for a singer and bass player to replace
Micki Steele.
Jackie played with the band on the first two studio albums and the Live in Japan album, and also appears on Flaming Schoolgirls, which contains outtakes from the
Queens of Noise recording sessions, and appears on the compilations Neon Angels and the Best of the Runaways. She played with the band on two tours of the U.S., the infamous U.K. tour during which three band members were arrested, and the
Japanese tour during which the band's live album was recorded and at the end of which Jackie left the band.
Since leaving the Runaways, Jackie has held a variety of jobs, most notably as a record promotions executive, as a modeling agent, as the promoter of
Tony Robbins' firewalking seminars, and most recently as an entertainment attorney in the motion picture and television arena, representing actors, writers, directors, authors and producers. Jackie received her B.A., summa cum laude, from
UCLA in Linguistics and Italian, with a Specialization in Computing, and her J.D. from Harvard. She speaks Italian and French, as well as conversational Greek and Spanish. She has written a script called "Delilah's Scissors" with
Vicki Blue, and appears in Vicki's 2004 film "Edgeplay," a documentary about the Runaways which Jackie co-produced (under the name "Jackie Fuchs"(her real name)).
