JACKIE BEAT, the bitter creation of artist and writer Kent Fuher, was born in Los Angeles way back in 1989 -- when Melrose Avenue still featured thrift stores and the rock bands on the Sunset Strip could actually play instruments and sing live! Over the past 25 years, Jackie has appeared in countless stage productions such as "Valley of the Dolls" and "Whatever Happened To Busty Jane?" and many movies and TV shows, including "Flawless" with Robert Deniro and Phillip Seymour Hoffman, "Wigstock The Movie" and "Sex And The City." Miss Beat has also toured as the opening act for comic legend Roseanne Barr and written material for the likes of Rosie O'Donnell, Joan Rivers, Ross Mathews, Jennifer Coolidge, Kate Flannery and more. Jackie has traveled all over the world with her live show and wowed unsuspecting audiences on dozens of Atlantis gay cruises. La Beat is the subject of the full-length documentary and film festival favorite "My Name Is Jackie Beat." She also co-founded the electro rock band, Dirty Sanchez, with famed club promoter and actor Mario Diaz and DJ Barbeau. The band was signed to Cleopatra Records and toured the US with electronic music icons My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult. After a brief five year "visit" to conquer New York City in the naughty '90s, Jackie returned to Los Angeles where she now lives with her three precious dogs: Lil Sister, Miss Toni and Darlin.
