Deborah Ann "Debbie" Harry (born July 1, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter and actress, best known for being the lead singer of the punk rock and new wave band Blondie. She has also had success as a solo artist, and in the mid-1990s she performed and recorded as part of The Jazz Passengers. Her acting career spans over thirty film roles and numerous television appearances.
Harry was born in Miami, Florida and adopted by Catherine Harry and Richard Smith, gift shop proprietors in Hawthorne, New Jersey.[1] She attended Hawthorne High School, where she graduated in 1963.[2] She graduated from Centenary College in Hackettstown, New Jersey, with an Associate of Arts degree in 1965.[citation needed] Before starting her singing career she moved to New York City in the late 1960s and worked as a secretary at BBC Radio's office there for one year.[citation needed] Later, she was a waitress at Max's Kansas City,[3] after which she was a dancer in Union City, New Jersey,[citation needed] and a Playboy Bunny.[4]
Deborah Harry began her musical career in the late '60s with the folk rock group The Wind in the Willows,[5] who recorded one album for Capitol Records. Harry then joined The Stilettos, with Elda Gentile and Amanda Jones, in 1974. The Stilettos included her eventual boyfriend and Blondie guitarist Chris Stein.[citation needed] When Harry and Stein left the Stilletos, they formed Angel and the Snake, with Tish and Snooky Bellomo. Shortly thereafter, Harry and Stein formed Blondie, naming it for the term of address men often yelled at Harry.[6] Blondie quickly became regulars at Max's Kansas City and CBGB in New York City.[3] After a debut album in 1976, commercial success followed in the late 1970s to the early 1980s, first in Australia and Europe, then in the United States.
While leading Blondie, Harry and Stein became life as well as musical partners, although they never married; Harry has no children.[7] In the mid-1980s, she took a few years off to nurse Stein back to health after he suffered a life-threatening disease. Stein and Harry broke up in the 1990s, but they have continued to work together. In 1999, she was called the 12th greatest woman of rock and roll by VH1's 100 Greatest Women of Rock & Roll[8] and in 2002, she was called the 18th sexiest artist of all time by VH1's 100 Sexiest Artists.[9]

There is, naturally, an argument that Debbie Harry’s looks were an integral part of her fame. No-one’s denying this: she was an ex-Playboy bunny, after all, and undeniably beautiful. (It is worth noting, however, that – unlike a modern era in which uncomfortably ‘sexy’ pop starlets are barely out of their teens – Debbie Harry was a pensionable thirty-two at the time of Hanging On The Telephone. Imagine that! A real-life woman – not a girl, but an actual woman. It’s madness, we tell you, madness!)

The band Blondie was at the height of their stardom in the 70s and early 80s, a time where fashion was reinventing itself between disco, the mod revival, platforms and micro minis. The mod look, favored by beatniks, on occasion Deborah Harry, as well as fashion icon Twiggy, was also reinventing itself. It seems like the early mod crowd's penchant for berets has been an inspiration for NYC hipsters the past 10 years. It's interesting to compare the two actually, since mod sprung from London's youth as a rebellion against stuffy British customs and a new leaning towards all things 'cool, smart, and neat.' Sounds sorta familiar doesn't it? Not to mention all the Vespas you see zipping around Manhattan as of late.

Debbie Harry is a 65-year old global star and still remains as sexy and confident as ever in her age. Although admitting to have a facelift in 2009 she remains very strong about her looks and thankfully she hasnt gone overboard. She is still able to arch THAT brow.
