"Deborah Harry was perhaps the biggest pop sensation of the late 1970s, scoring huge hits with "Call Me" and "Heart of Glass" and becoming a worldwide sex symbol. Before all that, she was fencing at Hawthorne High School. Harry and her band, Blondie, made their mark in New York City but Harry's roots are in the Jersey suburbs. She graduated from Hawthorne in 1963."
