SHE'S A RUNAWAY WHO'S RUNNING AWAY

Jackie Fox (Born under the name Jacqueline Louise Fuchs) was a the bass guitar player for the all girls band the Runaways for only two albums.  She's the third girl out of six girls to play bass guitar for the band.  Michael Steele (Micki Steele who later played bass guitar for the Bangles) played bass guitar for an unofficial album.  Peggy Foster left before the official debut album The Runaways could be recorded.  Jackie Fox played bass guitar only on The Runaways, Queens of Noise and Live in Japan.  Actually, there is a sidebar in which Jackie Fox was listed as the bass guitar player for the Runaways album, but it was Nigel Harrison (Who played bass guitar for the rock band Blondie) who did all the actual bass guitar playing.  She was hired only for the photos.  She actually got to play her bass guitar 100% on the Queens of Noise album.  Since then, she retired from rock and roll to become a music industry executive specializing in promotions, working for Tony Robbins when he was doing his Firewalking lectures and currently employed as an entertainment industry lawyer.  She's so busy with her legal practice that she won't have time to record an album and go on tour---Even if she still desired to do so (Which probably isn't the case anymore).  However, I'm sure she's still picking up her guitar to play a few tunes from time to time.
