Jackie Roberts
Milwaukee
Biography
(The following are excerpts from a biography of close friends Jackie Roberts and Rudi D'Angelo by Michail Takach for this website in 2023.) Jackie Roberts was born John Paul Jaccard. While attending Milwaukee High School of the Arts, she and classmate Rudi D'Angelo hung out at Club Marilyn's Teen Night. One fateful Sunday in May 1989, they were invited to join a group of Milwaukee Ballet employees who could "get them in" at La Cage nightclub (801 S.
2nd St.) They returned two weeks later with friends from school, and in many ways, never really left.
