Jacqueline Louise Fuchs (born December 20, 1959), is an American musician and attorney. Under her former stage name of Jackie Fox, she played bass guitar for the pioneering all-girl teenage rock band the Runaways. She is the sister of screenwriter Carol Fuchs and sister-in-law of Castle Rock Entertainment co-founder Martin Shafer. ==The Runaways== A merit scholar, Fox was set for an early entry to University of California, Los Angeles, to study mathematics when the opportunity to join the fledgling rock band the Runaways presented itself. Fox was "discovered" dancing at the Starwood Club by Rodney Bingenheimer, the self-proclaimed "mayor of the Sunset Strip", who introduced her to producer/impresario Kim Fowley. She had initially auditioned for the lead guitar position but the band hired Lita Ford instead. Some time later, she was called back and offered the bassist position in the band, which she accepted. Fox joined the Runaways in 1975, shortly before her sixteenth birthday. Fox played on the Runaways' second studio album ''Queens of Noise'' but was not permitted to play on the band's 1976 debut album. According to multiple sources, including Cherie Currie's memoir ''Neon Angel'' and the liner notes of the Raven Records release of ''The Runaways'', Blondie bassist Nigel Harrison was hired to play bass on the first album due to manager Fowley's refusal to let Fox play on the record. Fox herself acknowledges this.〔 Fox's final appearance with the Runaways' was on their 1977 ''Live in Japan'' album. It was during the Japanese Tour on which that album was recorded that Fox decided to leave the band. According to Fox herself in the 2005 documentary film ''Edgeplay: A Film About the Runaways'', she was distraught over the band members' inability to get along with each other and called her close friend Randy Rhoads of the L.A. band Quiet Riot, who encouraged her to come home. Victory Tischler-Blue (AKA "Vicki Blue") was quickly hired as her replacement. Though she had quit the band three years earlier, Fox appears on ''Flaming Schoolgirls'' (1980), an outtakes compilation featuring songs recorded during the ''Queens of Noise'' recording sessions in 1976. She would later appear on the compilation albums, ''Neon Angels'' and ''The Best of the Runaways''. Jackie played bass at The Runaways reunion in 1994 with Currie and West.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=An Interview with Jackie Fox )〕 Fox refused to give permission for her name to be used in the 2010 Hollywood feature film ''The Runaways''. Instead, the producers created a fictional character named Robin (portrayed by actress Alia Shawkat) as the band's bassist in the film. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jackie Fox」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
