Summary

Written with Harry's cooperation, Platinum Blonde celebrates the life of the original rock goddess as boldly as she's lived it. With her unapologetic sexuality and aggressive pop, Harry has remained a lasting icon of cool, synonymous with New York City attitude and the intersecting urban worlds of punk, rock, rap, art, film and fashion. What emerges from this quirky volume - filled with new insights from Harry herself, her friends, fans and contemporaries - is a portrait of an artist. Like a prism, Harry's life reflects the vitality of downtown New York from the late 60s to the present, exposes the male-dominated music industry and mocks the twisted nature of our obsession with celebrity. Platinum Blonde is the first book dedicated solely to Harry - a great beauty, a maverick musician and a truly unconventional pop star. Book jacket.
