History
Bambi Jones was born in Holyoke, Massachusetts. Bambi Jones admired the movie stars of the 1940s. At age 17, she moved to the bright lights to pursue her career in show biz. She worked in a hotel bar and would always dance to the jukebox there. A photographer from McVann's night club saw talent in Bambi Jones and invited her to dance for their club. She loved to dance so she took the job. She would later be scouted by an ex-Rockette and appear on burlesque stages throughout South America, Mexico, Canada, and the United States as "Bambi Jones".
