Jeanette Lee, better known as the Black Widow, spent years dominating pool tables despite degenerative, debilitating pain and became a top-ranked women’s billiards champion.
She learned she had scoliosis as a teenager and has undergone numerous procedures for the condition.
Every vertebra from her skull to her tailbone is fused.
“I don’t know why I felt like there was a race, but I always felt like there was and every minute I was playing pool, I was gaining on the people above me, and every time I was sidelined, I was just losing that edge,” Lee said.
