Life and career
Jones was born in Bethlehem and later in the British Mandate of Palestine. On her appearance on "Match Game" in 1981, she gave her place of birth. She and her family migrated to Italy, and then went to Canada in 1948. Zosia "Sophie," a seamstress and dressmaker, and John Stroski, a Polish army officer who was serving with the British Armed Forces at the time of Jones' birth, were Polish immigrants. Jones grew up in London, Ontario, in a strict Catholic family. In Canada, her parents owned a bridal store.
Jones began her career as a drummer in a rock band and then ventured into stand-up comedy in the 1980s. She had some success with comedy after winning the 1986 season of the television talent competition show Star Search. She appeared on television in 1979, 1983 (as Jenny Wilburn, winning $6,955 in cash and prizes, as a contestant), and Press Your Luck in 1985 (winning $18,706 over three days).
The Jenny Jones Show was an American syndicated daytime tabloid talk show hosted by Jones. It was produced by Telepictures and was distributed by Warner Bros. Television. The show aired in Chicago from September 1991 to September 2003 and was taped in Chicago at WMAQ-TV studios.
On March 6, 1995, a gay man named Scott Amedure confessed his passion for an acquaintance, Jonathan Schmitz, on a show called "Same-Sex Secret Crushes." Schmitz responded with a sigh of laughter; three days after the show's taping, he had killed Amedure. He was found guilty of second degree murder and received a prison term of 25 to 50 years in prison.
Amedure's family later sued The Jenny Jones Show's designers, alleging they should have known about Schmitz's mental illness history. Jones said in interviews that the producers told Schmitz that his admirer might be a male, but Schmitz thought the admirer was a woman. Jones also stated that the show didn't want Schmitz to know the outcome of his unethical obsession. The Amedure family received the first appeal, but the show was ordered to pay them $25 million. The decision was later overturned by the Michigan appellate court.
Jones, as an honorary chairperson for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Chicago Race for the Cure, an annual event that raises funds for breast cancer research. A mobile mammography motor coach was also donated by Jones to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County. Six silicone-implant surgeries since 1981 had her with a stable and asymmetrical breasts. In a People Magazine cover story essay, Jones had her breast implants removed later and openly condemned them. Jones then founded The Image Foundation as a resource for women seeking information about implants and body image issues.
Jenny Jones' autobiography "My Story" was published in 1997, with all of her proceeds going to breast cancer research. Look Good, Feel Great was published in 2006, and Jones gave her proceeds to breast cancer research at City of Hope.
In 2005, Jones founded The Jenny Jones Foundation to help those in need. Education, women's wellbeing, and strengthening communities around the country are all primary areas of concern. Jenny founded "Jenny's Heroes" in 2008, a charity that gives people the opportunity to make a difference in their local communities.
