BRAVE, BEAUTIFUL AND BORN TO BE PUNK 

Musician,

actor, activist, and the iconic face of New York City cool, Debbie Harry is the

frontwoman of Blondie, a band that forged a new sound that brought together the

worlds of rock, punk, disco, reggae and hip-hop to create some of the most

beloved pop songs of all time. As a muse, she collaborated with some of

the boldest artists of the past four decades. The scope of Debbie Harry’s

impact on our culture has been matched only by her reticence to reveal her rich

inner life—until now.  

In

an arresting mix of visceral, soulful storytelling and stunning visuals, Face It upends the standard

music memoir while delivering a truly prismatic portrait. With all the grit,

grime, and glory recounted in intimate detail, Face It re-creates the

downtown scene of 1970s New York City, where Blondie played alongside the

Ramones, Television, Talking Heads, Iggy Pop and David

Bowie. Aesthetically dazzling, and including never-before-seen

photographs, bespoke illustrations and fan art installations, Face It brings Debbie

Harry’s world and artistic sensibilities to life.  

Following

her path from glorious commercial success to heroin addiction, the near-death

of partner Chris Stein, a heart-wrenching bankruptcy, and Blondie’s breakup as

a band to her multifaceted acting career in more than thirty films, a stunning

solo career and the triumphant return of her band, and her tireless advocacy

for the environment and LGBTQ rights, Face

It is a cinematic story of a woman who made her own path, and

set the standard for a generation of artists who followed in her footsteps—a

memoir as dynamic as its subject. 

“I was saying things in songs that female singers didn’t really

say back then. I wasn’t submissive or begging him to come back, I was kicking

his ass, kicking him out, kicking my own ass too. My Blondie character was an

inflatable doll but with a dark, provocative, aggressive side. I was playing

it up yet I was very serious.”—From Face
