Biography
About Debbie Harry
Born Angela Tremble, Debbie Harry was adopted at three months old by a couple in Hawthorne, New Jersey, who renamed her and ran a gift shop. She learned of the adoption when she was four, and years later, in the late 1980s, she tracked down her birth mother, who refused contact.
Debbie Harry is the American lead vocalist of the new wave band Blondie. The band's recordings reached number one in the US and UK multiple times, from 1978 to 1981, and once again in the UK in 1999 after a reunion. She is widely credited as the first rapper to top the US charts, largely due to the song "Rapture." Beyond music, she has acted in over 60 film roles and many TV appearances, and she also took on odd jobs before fame, including a stint as a Playboy Bunny in New York City from 1968 to 1973, working as a secretary at BBC Radio, waitressing at Max's Kansas City, and go-go dancing in Union City. She started her career in 1966 and has remained active for 60 years. At 81, she stands 5'3" with slim build, blonde hair, and grey eyes.
Her birth name was Angela Tremble, but she was adopted at three months old and became Deborah Ann Harry. The adoption took place through a couple in Hawthorne, NJ, who ran a gift shop. She learned about it at age four and later, in the late 1980s, attempted to contact her birth mother, who declined. She attended Hawthorne High School, graduating in 1963, and earned an AA degree from Centenary College in Hackettstown, NJ, in 1965. Her sexual orientation is bisexual, and she has a natural bust. She worked various jobs in New York City in the late 1960s, including as a secretary at BBC Radio, a waitress at Max's Kansas City, and a go-go dancer. She was a Playboy Bunny from 1968 to 1973. With Blondie, she reached number one on charts multiple times, and she later found solo success mainly in Europe.
