Joan Jett, the actress, is making her musical theater Broadway debut in The Rocky Horror Show, although Joan Jett, the musician, sold out an extended engagement at Broadway’s Lunt-Fontanne Theater several years ago.
While still in her early teens, Joan, often called “the girl Elvis”, founded the seminal allgirl rock group THE RUNAWAYS, whose hits such as “Cherry Bomb” made them an international sensation. Her next group, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, sold millions of albums, has been a staple in the Top 10 chars and claims the #28 song of all time, “I Love Rock n’ Roll”, which was number 1 on the Billboard charts for 8 weeks after 23 major record labels refused to give her a deal.
Her songs are like the background music of our lives, and can be heard not only on radio, but also in scores of movies and television as well. Joan’s film credits include a starring role in Paul Schrader’s LIGHT OF DAY, with Michael J. Fox, Jason Miller, Gena Rowlands, and Michael McKean, and she appeared in BOOGIE BOY, an independent film by PULP FICTION alums Craig Hamann and Roger Avary. Her “bad guy” credits include playing an evil immortal in the HIGHLANDER television series, and she played a contract killer and reached a pinnacle in action film when she got to fight a martial-arts battle to the death with the legendary Chuck Norris.
Joan’s many innovative music videos are a staple of MTV and VH-1. This past season she was asked by the New York Liberty of the WNBA to record their team anthem and she continues to support women’s college and professional sports whenever possible.
No stranger to men’s sports, she sang the National Anthem in Camden Yards at her friend, Cal Ripken’s request the night he tied Lou Gehrig’s record, and took part in the ceremony in one of the rare events in history that momentous enough for both the president and vice president to attend. Aside from being one of the most durable live concert attractions, Joan Jett is the first female rock recording artist to own her own record label and has set a standard for women in the industry.
