# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born Angela Trimble in Miami and adopted as an infant, Harry grew up in Hawthorne, New Jersey, then worked as a dancer, Playboy Bunny, and BBC secretary before breaking through in music. She co-formed Blondie in New York in 1974, releasing their debut in 1976. Parallel Lines (1979) delivered "Heart of Glass"; Autoamerican (1980) gave her "The Tide Is High" and "Rapture". She released her first solo album, KooKoo, in 1981, then pivoted to film—Union City, Cronenberg's Videodrome (1983), John Waters's Hairspray (1988). Two more solo records followed by 1993. Blondie reunited in the late '90s with No Exit (1999) and kept releasing through the 2010s, their 2017 album Pollinator reaching No. 4 in the UK. She kept appearing in indies between albums—Spun, Elegy—a restless schedule that never quite settled.
