Leslie Jones Biography 

Annette “Leslie” Jones was born on September 7, 1967 (age 55 years) in Memphis, Tennessee, United States. She had a younger brother, Rodney Keith Jones (1971–2009). Her father was in the United States Army, and her family relocated frequently.

Her family moved to Los Angeles, when her father took a job at Stevie Wonder’s radio station, KJLH, as an electronics engineer. Jones attended high school in Lynwood, California, where she also played basketball; her father suggested that she play the sport because she is six feet tall.

Jones attended Chapman University on a basketball scholarship. While initially unsure of what she wanted to study, Jones worked as a disc jockey at the student radio station, KNAB, and contemplated playing professional basketball overseas.

When her coach, Brian Berger, left Chapman in 1986 for the head-coaching job at Colorado State University, Jones followed.
