“She has a face that makes it look as if she is wearing a pair of exceptionally expensive and stylish dark glasses, even when she isn’t.” That’s Guardian film critic Peter Bradshaw reflecting on the hauteur of French actress Isabelle Huppert – but couldn’t it equally apply to the aloof beauty of perennially nonchalant birthday girl Deborah Harry (née Angela Trimble, 1 July 1945)? The possessor of the world’s most sensational cheekbones, Blondie frontwoman, doyenne of New York punk, occasional actress and the fiercely glamorous and inscrutable personification of effortless deadpan Warholian cool turns 81 today! Pictured: Harry (actually wearing sunglasses!) photographed by Greg Gorman for LA Eyeworks, 1994.
