About Jeanene: As a smart but waif thin schoolgirl attending Nassau's Kingsway Academy,
the once shy Jeanene was often taunted with the nickname "Bean-Pole
Jeanene" - a moniker she would ultimately wear proudly when those legs
that spanned for days and striking appearance - catapulted her into
international success.
Jeanene is a stunningly splendid mix of her native Bahamian father and
Italian-Canadian mother (who was a former world champion medal-winning
athlete and Olympic high jumper in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics).
A gifted athlete like her mother and brother (her eldest siblings Rick
Fox a three-time World Champion Los Angeles Lakers NBA basketball
player) - Jeanene excelled in many sports including softball, swimming
and track and field - the family room's shelves quickly crowded with her
awards and trophies. However, friends thought Jeanene far too feminine
too pursue a career in sports - but as luck would have it, she wouldn't
have to.
