Jemal Countess/Getty ImagesJackie Fuchs, otherwise known as Jackie Fox from the all-girl band The Runaways, became a three-time champion on Jeopardy on Tuesday.
Jackie joined The Runaways in 1975, just before turning 16, and played bass until 1977. During her episodes of Jeopardy, she told Alex Trebek that she had also been a surfer nicknamed 'Malibu Barbie' before eventually becoming a writer and a lawyer. Her explanation of her career and hobby changes? She gets bored quickly.
After her third day on the game show, her total winnings has reached $58,689.
She wasn't portrayed in the movie "The Runaways" because she did not give the movie makers permission to use her likeness.
