Nassau, Bahamas - Bahamian actress Jeanene Fox plans to be home for the holidays and will be participating in the Boxing Day Junkanoo parade. "Jeanene Fox will be proudly rushing with the Saxons Superstars in an effort to enlighten and educate Bahamians to always embrace and never forget their Bahamian Heritage." said Craig Woods, Bahamas Film Commissioner.
Ms. Fox is
in the midst of building a stellar acting career in Europe. Her
casting as an investigative reporter in the mini-series,
The Bodyguard,
marks the second notable role she has earned in Italy. She also appeared
recently in the Italian feature comedy,
AmeriQua.
In
The
Bodyguard, Ms. Fox plays a member of an investigative News Team
from Los Angeles that travels to the island of Malta to report on a
complex murder case. Tension soon rises as the team uncovers many truths
that have serious implications for the island’s justice system. Eventually,
they are forced to hire a bodyguard to protect them as they reveal the
truth about the case.
The television
mini-series will be released in Italy in the Fall, 2011. The thriller
has also been sold to Germany, Spain, England and the United States.
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.
