Sixty Minutes Interview - Deborah Harry & Chris Stein 2010

Interviewed in NYC by Australian Sixty Minutes

[@rushshukla4636]

She was the blond who refused to die young. Instead she grew old gracefully. A real soul survivor and a most remarkable woman and still rocking at 77!

[@richalderson6069]

She was 33-34 years old when she made it with Blondie so she was a fully grown confident and experienced woman and that was a big part of her appeal, she wasn't some naive little ingenue type who didn't know what she was doing.

[@peedrowchan-man102]

I’d say you’re on to something! This in-charge woman captured me as a little five-year-old - attennnTion!

[@brunoblalack345]

The Greatest Blonde that ever Rocked

[@diannejones9283]

Oh she knew

[@contessa.adella]

Hard to believe that Debbie was about thirty five when she was a pop icon, and even now she seems younger than her true age. Also hard to believe she smoked, when you hear that beautiful voice talent. She was and still is…amazing.

[@steemerxaxon1643]

When you DON'T have multiple ORGASMS every day & Respect your self YOU LOOK LIKE HER... SEX & CONTINUIOUS DRUGS make ANY HUMAN look like SHIT

[@superdougie10]

When she talks I feel calmer. Extremely intelligent and very present.

[@luiszuluaga6575]

I suspect she always was present, even when she was at the height of her partying days

[@seagypsiesbellydancers3047]

I saw Blondie a couple of weeks ago in Brighton, she is still beautiful and with great presence! One of the best concerts I’ve seen xx

[@Pulsonar]

I can’t believe I missed Debbie Harry - my schoolboy crush of ages! I’m reading only now that Blondie did a gig a the Brighton centre few weeks ago, and just 4 miles from my home. I probably deserved it, for that catastrophic level of ignorance 🙁

[@stantackett107]

I saw them in Detroit last year. Best show I'd ever seen.

[@user-sw7nl8lz4u]

She is so beautiful and so talented pop singer ...!

[@Chris-hk3tq]

yes, she is so sunny, so feminine and benevolent at the same time. She has such a magnetism. 😍🤩

[@rossilake3430]

I’m 60 and loved her Looks/Style and music. Every mans fantasy! Julie Christie is another beautiful woman of the 70’s.

[@martykardaseski6549]

Debbie Harry will always be remembered

[@41663]

Its nice to see her smile in this interview . In past ones she didnt and its just good to see happy smiling people. May her life be filled with continued happiness

[@natilieshahinyan3741]

Just came back from her concert at The Greek Theater in LA! She is an Icon!

[@mickcorbett6724]

Her Memoir “Face It” is a great read, so interesting. Highly recommended.

[@satanishangover]

She was all: a model, a sex-symbol, a playboy bunny, a rocker, a pop singer, an icon, an artist, one of the smartest artists of her time.

[@JoeZaccaris]

I was a teen in the 80's and I never realized until my 50's how elegant the female rockers of the 70s were --- all of them seem like very classy ladies to their core with solid values as human beings --- Deborah Harry, Stevie Nicks, and the Wilson Sisters, to name a few --- they never felt a need to stoop to the lowest common denominator and write songs like "W.A.P."

[@floydwilliams8595]

Good interviewer, actually asks a question and doesn't talk over her.

[@lembagnol5882]

I discovered Blondie at her 75 th year old age; and I fell in love with her songs and personal beauty. Though drugs set in her life, she was not completely destroyed. She has still some beauty left. I wish her a happier and healthier life.

[@CammieInOz]

Deborah Harry is still a remarkable artist. Been a fan of Blondie for over 40 years. ❤

[@tammyharrison1769]

Debbie Harry is a legend I've always loved her and her music, they don't have anyone of her caliber anywhere and never will. Thank you for your great songs and an era that I will always remember and love. ❤️

[@stevensheldon4655]

I've been a Blondie fan for a very long time + I know even with me it's been a bit fraught, god help the the band members!🙈 I'm absolutely sure the band will go down as one of the best bands ever!🤞🤞😇♥️♥️♥️

[@juliecomerford2765]

I just watched her at Glastonbury, she was great, and I had a thought. While she’s still on this earth, I feel young. I’m dreading the day, just want her to live forever 😢

[@user-yc9wh6qz5g]

Thanks for the music and musical memories. Love her, she's an angel, icon and an adorable legend Love her music. The Tide is high you're my number #1❤️

[@Rondo2ooo]

That Dollie Parton comment was gold. :-D

[@jefffarmer5785]

She is a LEGEND, and I freakin' just LOVE HER-!!!!!!! She was UNUSUALLY BOLD as a female in music in her 'Hey-Day'-!!! Debbie, was (and STILL IS) a TOTAL 'Bad-A$$'-!!!!!!! 🙂😁👍✌

[@offbeat65]

Actually, she was considered by many the most conventional female player on the punk/new wave circuit. Not necessarily my opinion. I think her forte was subtlety and spontaneity.

[@traceydaizy]

Blondie are so special to me I love that band so much.

[@barbaraelston6899]

She was phenomenal and still is 🤗

[@glennbiss5588]

Love Blondie! Love Debbie!!❤️❤️

[@culwin]

Not only was she around 35 at the peak of her music career, she was in her 40's when her acting career took off, something that's almost unheard of.

[@rgrndu]

Took off is an overstatement.

[@culwin]

[@63carlo63]

Thanks for this video!

[@thinman8621]

Debbie Harry is magnetic, just pulls one in whether singing or talking. Born charisma.

[@ferdinandvonhalle5771]

, I knew Blondie from Australia. Where I was grateful to meet her.when I was working as a disc.jockey. it was a special moment with friends and especially Blondie ❤️ as all smoking a bowl 😂 and all chatting good times. Thanks to Evans gudinski and Bret Goldsmith Patrick etc.

[@Danni100]

Aged 12, I realised that my Dad absolutely adored Marilyn Monroe, Kim Wilde and Debbie Harry. My Dad stated that we would be going to America to visit and go on a MM tour. We had an aquamarine coloured Allegro with leatherette seats, under the seats were books about Marylin. My Mum was 'the other woman' in her own marriage as Dad was obsessed with his blonde idols (even though Marylin had long since passed away). In 1983, he took his own life in that car, I'd like to think that he found MM in heaven

[@jorgelodwick4429]

@6:50 the story of how Blondie survived Ted Bundy. On Andrew Denton’s Enough Rope, she goes into much more detail. I can longer find that particular interview on KZbin but I’m happy to find this piece of the story.

[@tasibho]

Was she a brunette at the time?...ted bundy had a very clear pattern and profile. All his victims were long brunettes with straight hair. Except for that last little girl. Then again he is suspected to have so many more victims in other areas that were never discovered.

[@rossilake3430]

When I heard that, I freaked out. No Blondie! That was a huge bullet .50cal. Ted was a handsome guy, women liked him. No inner door handles, Red Flag! Life is 50,000,000 decisions, any one wrong turn can be your last. Luv ya Blondie!

[@aarondigby5054]

I saw that interview where she believes she barely missed Ted Bundy, she use to hangout walking and public transit to NYC hottest trendy punk rock metal club scenes. She'd hangout with Grandmaster Flash, she was a student of the NYC music metal punk pop scene.

[@Grimenoughtomaketherobotcry]

I was in my late teens in the late 70's, and listened to CFNY in Toronto, a radio station that played punk/new wave. That's how I heard Blondie for the first time, as I couldn't afford to buy albums. I remember hearing their version of The Nerves, "Hangin' on the Telephone" and being blown away by it. A great, "ear worm", but the kind you don't at all mind having. I also remember painting the exterior of my brother's house in the spring of 1980 and hearing "Dreaming" for the first time. That day I received an acceptance letter from my first choice of university to go to that fall. Interestingly, I was encouraged to pick that school over my older brother's alma mater by a girl who sang a Blondie tune at my high school's talent night. Damned if I can remember which tune it was. Anyway, I probably should have married you, Sylvia.

[@sharonwoodard5038]

I love how music brings back memories . I was always a blonde fan.

[@Boatingwego5]

We love you Debbie Harry! You will always "ROCK THE HOUSE" :)~~

A slept-on fact

[@yuvgotubekidding]

In her rise to stardom she paid her dues. Working to scrape up a few dollars and singing wherever she could. She became a global icon in all media. She was queen of the world.

[@joesimon2018]

The Ted Bundy story is unlikely. Investigatory determined that he was in Florida at the time she says her encounter happened.

[@rgrndu]

For the interviewer to say Debbie Harry was "the first" is disrespectful to all the great female singers that came before her. I'm a Blondie fan but there wasn't anything groundbreaking about them. They were a good pop/rock band.

[@bhbluebird]

Stein and Harry split up in 1987, but remained friends

[@adamquiles2468]

Stumbled upon Bundy? Sweet Jesus thats similar to what happened to Lennon from The Beatles. If only he was still alive like Harry

[@7colliemac]

I was a punk rocker in the late 70’s & I tell you no punk rocker worth his salt was a Blondie fan. She was cute & sexy, but it wasn’t punk, maybe New Wave pop if you like. But John Lyndon said the Pistols opened the way, for men & women to be themselves not constrained by the record labels, be true to yourself. Opened the way for girl bands, girls fronting bands. But she hardly a punk princess .. the US never got punk.

[@gabriellebernard198]

Ted bundy never visited nyc. But it's a good story.
