Debbie Harry Of Blondie Was Inspired By The Ultimate Blonde
Debbie Harry is not Blondie — she’s the singer in a band called Blondie. But the band did get its name from Harry’s experiences as an attractive blonde performer in grimy New York clubs. Harry told Elle UK that she dyed her hair platinum when she was 15. “‘I felt drawn to Marilyn Monroe,” she said. “She had a big effect on women and was such a magnetic character. Having come up through the era of misogyny, I felt she had been misunderstood and undervalued.”
