Jackie Fox is one of the most popular and richest Bassist who was born on December 20, 1959 in California, California, United States. Influential musician in the punk rock movement who was a member of the 1970s all-woman group, The Runaways.
She did not give permission to use her name in the 2010 film about The Runaways, so she was portrayed by Alia Shawkat’s fictional character, Robin.
Before Fuchs came forward, Fowley allegedly raped an underage girl at the party on New Year’s Eve 1975, though the victim was never publicly identified. Currie described the incident in the documentary Edgeplay: A Film About the Runaways and also, in detail, in an updated edition of her memoir Neon Angel: A Memoir of a Runaway. In the chapter titled “Kim Fowley’s Sex Education Class,” Fuchs is originally mentioned as a bystander, and asks for more food after witnessing the rape. But Fuchs threatened legal action against Currie if the chapter was published in its original form because “the event described in Cherie’s book never happened”; Currie edited the chapter to exclude her. Tischler-Blue (Fuchs’s replacement in the group) said that all the members of the group “have always been aware of this ugly event.”
A Merit scholar, Fuchs had gained early admission to UCLA to study math when the opportunity to join the fledgling rock band the Runaways arose. Fuchs was “discovered” dancing at the Starwood by Rodney Bingenheimer (the self- proclaimed “mayor of the Sunset Strip”), who introduced her to producer/impresario Kim Fowley. Initially she auditioned for lead guitar, but the band hired Lita Ford for that. Some time later, she was called back to play bass; she accepted the offer, and joined the Runaways in 1975, shortly before her 16th birthday.
Her sister, Carol Fuchs, is a screenwriter.
