As the theater version of Desperately Seeking Susan prepares to open in London’s West End (featuring the music of Blondie), Debbie Harry says Madonna stole her look back in the 80’s:
“I came right up against the Madonna thing. Maybe it’s my paranoia but she had a lot of my looks. If you look closely, sometimes there’s pictures of her and me that completely overlap. She [Madonna] was getting such a huge push from Warners, I was definitely on the B-list. It was a hard period for me. I don’t think anybody knew how to market me or what to do with me. I was like a fish out of water.”
