I love Joanie, but never wanted to be her manager. She is best known for her work with Joan Jett & the Blackhearts including their hit cover 'I Love Rock N' Roll' This one shot tells about her life from when she was in the 'Runaways' to when she broke off to her iconic solo career. She was fantastic, but no label would take her on. This led to her first meeting and resulting lifelong creative partnership with producer and manager Kenny Laguna.

Jett continued her pattern of hard living while recording music for a movie for which the Runaways were contracted to record a soundtrack.

She changed her last name to Jett and modeled her now-famous look of black leather, black eyeliner, and a black shag haircut after American rocker Suzi Quatro, who inspired her musically as well as aesthetically.
