A Conversation with Jeanette Lee, the “Black Widow” of Pool
The “Black Widow”, Jeanette Lee, achieved legendary billiards status when she became the top-ranked female pool player in the world during the 1990s, winning over 30 national and international titles. Lee, dressed in black from head-to-toe when she decimated her prey in that span, later had her career be a focus of an ESPN 30-for-30 documentary.
In her new book Black Widow: A Memoir , Lee looks back at her illustrious career, lifelong struggle with scoliosis, and a public battle with Stage 4 ovarian cancer. Jeanette Lee joined Mike Pomp on the Morning Information Center to talk about her career in billiards and the new memoir.
