Debbie Harry has always been a stunning goddess. I believe Debbie and Chris remain so close is because they share a deep understanding. Debbie didn’t want children and Chris did. They are soul mates and kindred spirits. A friend met Debbie and said she helped him get over his awe by asking him questions and showing genuine interest in his life. Very cool lady. Thank you.

BTW: I view one as a more formal version and one as a less formal version of the same name. If you want to get into the weeds. Both names may have had different linguistic origins, but like many names in english they have basically merged. So Deborah or Debbie is fine unless the individual wants to be called one and not the other.

One Way or Another wasn't about an ex-boy friend but about a serial killer, Ted Bundy, Debbie met, as she wrote in her memoir. Harry was alone in the streets of Manhattan in the early morning hours, searching for a taxi. Then, a white car pulled up and the driver offered her a ride. Harry had doubts about getting inside the car, but her feet were aching and the driver appeared to be polite. Upon realizing she was trapped, Harry managed to escape and lived to tell the tale..
