Deborah Harry filmography

[h3]Adopted at about three months of age by Richard and Catherine Harry, she was raised in New Jersey. [/h3]

She spent most of her twenties working odd jobs as a secretary, cocktail waitress and Playboy bunny, while rubbing shoulders with the Warhol set.

In October 1973 Harry began both a musical and personal relationship with Chris Stein. Together, Deborah and Chris formed Blondie. Blondie battled for success for many years but, late in 1977, 'Denis' reached number two in the British charts. 'Heart of Glass' was Blondie's first worldwide hit, reaching number one in both America and Britain.

Harry's glamorous platinum blonde looks, keen wit and creative musical style propelled Blondie to mega stardom, and the group had several number one hits, including 'Call Me', 'The Tide is High', and 'Rapture'.

However, tensions caused the group to split in 1984, and Harry’s solo career would never live up to the success of Blondie. Her first solo album 'Koo Koo', was both a critical and commercial failure, although it is a firm favorite with her legions of fans. Harry took four years off between the release of 'Koo Koo' and her second solo effort, 'Rockbird', to nurse a seriously ill Chris Stein.

With ‘Rockbird’, Debbie fared considerably better, scoring a number two hit in Britain and a number one hit in Australia, but the album failed to chart well in America.

In 1989, Harry returned with the seductive 'Def Dumb and Blonde'. Now recording under the name Deborah Harry, the album was an eclectic blend of musical genres. Produced by Mike Chapman (ex-Blondie producer), the album signaled a return to Deborah Harry's fundamentals. The UK hit single was 'I Want that Man', the album also charted well in the US, going platinum in Australia, and was followed by a world tour.

Harry is also an actress, appearing in 'Union City' (1979), 'Videodrome' (1983) and 'Hairspray' (1986), amongst others. Since 1998 much of her time has been taken up touring and recording with the reformed Blondie.
