Here is a great old video of the famous pool player, Jean Balukas who was the first famous woman pool player - yea, before Allison Fisher and Jeanette Lee. This video is from a show called "I've got a secret" and features a 6 year old little girl (Jean) that shows off her skills on the Pool Table. Later they bring on her younger sister and she hits a few.
Jean Balukas left the sport she dominated in 1988 after a WPBA fine of $200 was imposed after a tournament in Las Vegas. Ms Balukas refused to pay the fine and walked away from pool, never to play in a professional tournament again. I guess sometimes it is a matter of principal or morals - looking back, if she had it to do all over again - Would she walk away again?
