The story of Debbie Harry starts with her name.
She was born 76 years ago in Miami with the name Angela Trimble but was given up for adoption as an infant by her birth mother. A couple in Hawthorne, N.J. Richard, and Catherine Harry, who owned a gift shop, immediately adopted Angela and renamed her Deborah Ann Harry.
At age four, she learned of her adoption, and in the late 1980s, located her birth mother, a concert pianist who rejected having a relationship with her. In her memoir, Harry recalls being a tomboy and spent much of her childhood playing in the woods adjacent to her home in Hawthorne.
