Blondie's Deborah Harry Lived In A Haunted House | Letterman

[@paulinportsva4464]

She is such an icon. She is very shy and rarely opens up much in interviews. And even at 77 she is still unusually beautiful and talented.

[@flickwtchr]

Did you catch video of her tour at age 78? Just amazing. She's obviously kept exercising through the years and although her voice of course isn't like it was as a young woman, she still sounds amazing. Search for Isle of Wright festival concert if you haven't already.

[@paulinportsva4464]

@flickwtchr I did see it and you are right!

[@Heaven-dy9lj]

She seems such a lovely soul.

[@bYtealiEnSzen]

Videodrome and Debbie Harry; a match made in cinematic heaven.

[@milesdevinny5759]

Interviews like this really highlight how different Dave's personality was in the early years of the program. He got so much more goofy and less restrained as the years passed. If this were an interview with her in 1986 he'd be cracking smiles and jokes much more often. He came off more as trying to remain a professional broadcaster in the early years.

[@Dinnerthedaythebanksareopen]

He got progressively more creepy with female guests as the years went on. I actually prefer this version of him

[@vertserc453]

​@@DinnerthedaythebanksareopenI really think it's all in the viewer perception..you know a lot of times people tend to project their fears and insecurities on people they don't really know..

[@Dinnerthedaythebanksareopen]

@@vertserc453 This man said many inappropriate and creepy things including licking female guests hair. Lol it’s not “projection” if it’s documented. Look up the clips on here

Debbie was ahead by a century.

[@tourbillon9617]

For a generation that grew up on Apocalypse Now and The Warriors, this feels strangely not so long ago.

[@Tommyr]

Man she was SO FINE back in the day. Gorgeous.

[@PrinceAsmodeus]

Yes she was

Letterman was responsible for me sleeping through so much of high school.

[@littleredrose6254]

This is from 41 years ago. Wow! Makes you feel rather old.

[@GoodMrDawes]

She looks stunning any color hair

[@rosagoglia4649]

Wow, I think I could have been a Blondie type, but that Dave is hysterical…:) thanks

[@FreezerKing]

I can't really imagine what those people in the audience who decided to go see Videodrome after this interview thought about it. It is...an experience.

[@Bryan8329]

She later rejected the role of Dorothy in Blue Velvet because of the weird mail from men she got because of her role in that.

[@FreezerKing]

@@Bryan8329 If anything, Blue Velvet is even MORE disturbing because it's not science fiction at all

[@keefriff99]

Videodrome is such a trip. Unfortunately it stars that low-life dirtbag, James Woods, but he fits the role to a tee. Great film by Cronenberg.

[@Bryan8329]

@@FreezerKing the names bandied about for that are fascinating. Sigourney Weaver almost played the role. If somehow she had that and Aliens in the same year she surely would have gotten the Oscar.

She is just captivating no matter what she's doing.

[@franko6677]

I read Debbie’s autobiography…this was a very difficult time for her.

[@UberNeuman]

That wasn't a poltergeist starting fires, it was Edie Sedgwick.

[@Fordham1969]

To me she's being playful here and doesn't want to play the role of "the standard talk show guest" covering preplanned topics as though they were having a spontaneous conversation. I think Dave has always been the more straight laced one that would try and elicit clear, straightforward answers rather than play along with the quirkiness, but in this case he's being far more patient than he would be with a Brother Theodore or Harvey Pekar because it's her.

[@user-um1xt3kh]

I met Debbie in 1999, backstage MEN Arena, Manchester UK. Beautiful ❤

[@jonathanwoods9843]

Debbie's always older than we think. Here, she was about 38. Could've passed for 10 years younger!

[@sstrick500]

She looks 10 times hotter with the auburn hair color!

[@Cpayne30]

There's some sort of weird noise reduction on the audio here....sounds strange.

Please, upload the segment with John Witherspoon when he does a short stand-up and talks about Funeral director and the decomposing bodies.

[@-______-______-]

What would that have to do with this?

[@keefriff99]

Videodrome...what a movie. Total Cronenberg body horror nightmare.

[@dannydarko6929]

Why did people think Letterman was so funny? This interview went horrible and there was still laughter.

[@catofong6905]

Some folks laugh at any old s*** I guess

[@thevalkyrie8]

Exactly… Debbie did not help herself… she was just out of sync… her wacky stories didn’t vibe with everyone else… she tried to play kooky but no one was shaving it… was cringe to watch

[@samanthab1923]

Always loved Blondie. Debbie Harry is living in a retirement community in Lincroft NJ now. No 👻

[@PrinceAsmodeus]

She lives in an old folks home?

[@yatespeterm]

According to Wiki. she is 77 yo. So she is quite old.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

@@yatespeterm - Dave is 76 and still pretty active. Unless she has dementia, I doubt she's in an old folks home. A retirement community is different.

[@daviescw]

She just played at Coachella lol

This episode was one day off from being the one-year anniversary of the first episode of the show - 2/1/1982.

[@BanalayerPete1972]

Our French teacher, English but a teacher of French, that is, looked very like the brunette Debbie Harry. Have to admit, I had a crush on her throughout secondary education. She once demanded to see me after the lesson, because I wasn't concentrating, and I was so pleased that I started working harder. When she said, "Oh, great improvement. Interview no longer necessary!", I said, "Oh, are you sure?" Must've looked such a berk to show disappointment like that!😂

[@Rnyargd]

Ah, the original un-jaded Dave. 😉

[@InternationalScoutIIHarvester]

Dang, this is like watching local cable

[@jimmyoconnell6167]

Haha, I wonder if Deborah Harry was a little sleep deprived, the answers felt a little out of synch.

[@mannybravo237]

Atlanta Superstation TBS rasslin' ina 80s was the best! I bet Dave was watchin'...and he had the greatest feud on before this (i watched the vlog again!), with the slap by Jerry Lawyer on Andy Kaufman!😅

[@SpiderHacksaw]

Debbie Harry was already an Icon even back then with her music and Blondie. Dave was an icon in the making. They are both legends in their fields now. I do still love Debbie Harry so, for that voice and all the music she gave us. And all those late nights as a teenager watching Dave with my friends from work at the Ice Rink.

[@bluebear1985]

My thanks to Jay Leno and Deborah Harry. Tune in tomorrow where my guests will be Carol Leifer, Alvin Eicoff, and Drew Barrymore. Thanks for watching, everyone, good night. (cue Late Night theme)

[@TechIsGods]

I grew up with her. She is a goddess.

@@Lettuce_Play For a time she and Chris had drug issues. Not sure if that was the time period though.

[@thekookooman1991]

It feels like it to me. She seems nervous and fidgety and uncharacteristically defensive in places. Plus she looks very disheveled.

I talked go James Woods a lot. Not funny but a really intelligent M.I.T. guy. Conservative.

Dave was such an idiot with women.

[@JJJZANESVILLE2]

She's somewhat dense. Letterman is playing off it. He knows how popular she is but he's confused by the adoration. Me, too...dave

[@vicshrily]

JJZANESVILLE2 • You are the densest, by far…& sounds like u r also very jealous, insecure, etc..

[@saraivatoledo1842]

She looks loaded too. My guess would be alcohol/cocaine ...if wrong she´s even denser than we both think she is.
