Later that year, she returned to Los Angeles, where she began fulfilling an obligation of the Runaways' to complete a film-loosely based on the band's career-called We're All Crazee Now! Three actresses required to stand in for her departed band members included the iconic cult star Rainbeaux Smith, who was also a rock drummer. She recorded three songs there with Sex Pistols' Paul Cook and Steve Jones (one of which was an early version of The Arrows' "I Love Rock 'n' Roll"). In the spring of 1979, Jett was in England pursuing a solo career. Soon after, Jett produced The Germs' first and only album (GI). Altogether they produced five albums from 1975 until they disbanded in spring of 1979 due to musical differences. After Currie, the lead singer, left the band, the band released two more albums with Jett handling the lead vocals: Waitin' for the Night and And Now. While The Runaways were popular in Europe, Asia, Australia, Canada and South America, they could not garner the same level of success in the U.S.
JOAN JETT TOPLESS MOVIE
In 2010, The Runaways, a movie about Joan Jett's band, was made, starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. They found success abroad, especially in Japan. The band toured around the world and some of their opening acts included Cheap Trick, Van Halen and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The band recorded five LPs, with Live In Japan becoming one of the biggest-selling imports in U.S. While Currie initially fronted the band, Jett shared some lead vocals, played rhythm guitar and wrote or co-wrote a lot of the band's material along with Ford, West and Currie. Micki Steele (who was later replaced), Jackie Fox, Lita Ford, and Cherie Currie completed the line-up. Jett is a founding member of The Runaways along with drummer Sandy West. Rodney's was the only place Jett could hear this style of music, and it certainly helped develop her image. Joan was further introduced to the glam-rock style she so adored as this genre was explosive in the UK and Europe, but never quite took off in the US. Her favorite night spot was Rodney Bingenheimer's English Disco. She wore wooden platform shoes with "Suzi Quatro" carved into the side.
Jett would quietly wait in the lobby of various hotels that Suzi was staying in during her US tours, just to catch a glimpse of her. Quatro was vital to Joan's career, and Joan adopted many of Suzi's qualities including her shag haircut and style. In Los Angeles, Joan interacted with some of her idols, including Suzi Quatro, one of the first female rock musicians who played an instrument on stage. She also became involved with a bartender at a club from the town, at which point her family then relocated to the city of West Covina, California, in Los Angeles County, providing Jett the opportunity to pursue her musical endeavors. Joan initially took some guitar lessons, but quit soon after when the instructor kept trying to teach her folk songs. She got her first guitar for Christmas from her parents at the age of 13, and she mostly spent time after that writing songs. In her teens, Jett would sneak out at night to go to concerts with friends. She moved to Rockville, Maryland, in 1967 where she attended Randolph Junior High and Wheaton High School. Joan Jett was born at Lankenau Hospital in Wynnewood, a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Joan Jett - Talkin' Bout My Baby ( VERY RARE ) video !!!! Joan Jett and the Blackhearts - Crimson & Clover Joan Jett & the Blackhearts - I Love Rock N Roll She has three albums that have been certified Platinum or Gold, and she has been referred to as the "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll" many times during her career.

She is best known for her work with Joan Jett & the Blackhearts including their hit cover "I Love Rock 'n' Roll", which was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 from March 20 to May 1, 1982, as well as for their other popular recordings including "Crimson and Clover", "I Hate Myself for Loving You", "Do You Want to Touch Me", "Light of Day", "Love Is All Around", "Bad Reputation", and "Little Liar".
