Thanks goes to my wife, who saw "The Runaways" film about the 1970s all-girl rock band and couldn't get it out of her head why the bass player in the movie is such a small role (one non-descript line of dialogue), and that the name "Robin" didn't seem right.

And thanks to wikipedia, for giving her the information about Jackie Fox, bass player for the Runaways between 1975 and 1977 and who co-wrote several of their songs.

Jackie Fox graduated from UCLA summa cum laude, with a B.A. in Linguistics and Italian, and received her J.D. from Harvard becoming a lawyer, focusing on entertainment.[11] She has lived abroad and is an amateur photographer. Jackie has photographed many other famous actors such as James McAvoy and George Clooney. She co-wrote "Delilah's Scissors" with Vicki Blue and co-produced and appeared in Edgeplay, Fox's 2005 documentary about the Runaways. She refused to give the rights for her to be portrayed in the 2010 film The Runaways and the producers of that film fabricated a fictional character named Robin, who is portrayed by Alia Shawkat.
