Trivia

  • First gained notoriety when the car in which she was riding was pulled over by police in Washington, DC, in 1974. She jumped out of the car into the nearby Tidal Basin, a sort of artificial lake. In the car with her was Rep. Wilbur Mills, powerful chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, and a married man. According to police, both were drunk. It was later found out that Foxe was a stripper in a local establishment and she and Mills had been "keeping company" for some time. Mills at first denied the incident had ever occurred, but had to retract the denial when it turned out that a local TV cameraman happened to be nearby at that moment and caught the whole incident on film. The ensuing scandal, and another incident involving Miss Foxe, caused Mills to resign his chairmanship and retire in 1976.
  • Headlined on the burlesque circuit in Boston as "The Tidal Basin Bombshell"
  • Has admitted to four separate breast enhancement surgeries in her career.
