Jeanette Lee Biography

Jeanette Lee, a prominent figure in the field of billiards, has earned significant recognition for her competitive prowess and skill. Among her numerous accomplishments, Lee was inducted into the Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame in 2013, reflecting her noteworthy contributions to the sport. Her competitive success includes winning two Tournament of Champions titles in 1999 and 2003 and earning over 30 national and international titles. Lee's skill in billiards extended to the international stage, where she secured a gold medal for the United States at the 2001 World Games in Akita, Japan.

Lee's commitment to her craft has been captured in various media outlets. Notably, she made an appearance on Fox Sports Net's "Sport Science" in 2008, during which she pocketed 12 balls in a single trick shot. Her life and career were documented in the film "Jeanette Lee Vs.", which premiered at the Doc NYC Film Festival in 2022 and later aired on ESPN as part of the "30 for 30" series. This documentary provides an in-depth look into Lee's career, achievements, and personal challenges, including her diagnosis with stage 4 ovarian cancer.

Lee is the author of two books: "The Black Widow's Guide to Killer Pool: Become the Player to Beat," in which she divulges her tips and tricks for being the best pool player, and "The Black Widow: A Memoir," which details her journey in life and professional pool. Her memoir addresses her lifelong struggle with scoliosis, which required over twenty operations during her playing career, and her battle with ovarian cancer, all while becoming an iconic figure in the world of pool.

In addition to her achievements in billiards, Lee has been actively involved in advocacy work, serving as the national spokesperson for the Scoliosis Association. Her public persona extends beyond the realm of sports, with appearances on numerous TV shows, including "Arli$$," "Best Damn Sports Show Period," and "The Late Show with David Letterman."
