AKA:
Debbie Gibson
Deborah Ann Gibson was born in Brooklyn, NY, on August 31, 1970, to Joseph and Diane Gibson. She has three sisters. She became known to the world at large at the age of 16 with the release of her single “Only in My Dreams.” Her album Out of the Blue was soon to follow. This album produced the hit single “Foolish Beat”, which upon hitting #1 on the charts made Deborah the youngest person ever to write, produce, and perform a number one single. Her follow up album, Electric Youth, also went to #1 and produced what is arguably her biggest hit and best known song “Lost in Your… More Eyes”, which also went to #1.

While her popularity has waned since these early years, she has continued to perform and has released several albums since, including Anything is Possible (1990), Body Mind Soul (1993), Think with your Heart (1995), Deborah (1997), M.Y.O.B. (2001), and Colored Lights (2003).

Deborah has also branched out into theater, having memorable runs in musicals such as Les Miserables, Grease, Funny Girl, Beauty and the Beast, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Cinderella, Chicago, and Cabaret. She is also the lyricist and composer on a couple of pre-production musicals, Skirts and The Flunky.

In March 2005 Deborah posed for Playboy after years of stating that she never would. This action unfortunately alienated some of her fans.

Deborah also works with numerous charities, mostly for children and AIDS, using her fame to help others.

Even though she has yet to reach the success she had back in the late 1980s, she has constantly worked and has remained in the public eye.

    An all-time favorite! hide show

    I really felt bad to see Deborah on the Skating with Celebrities episodes, because something like that just screams has-been and I hate to see her lumped in with that.

    I've loved Deb since the beginning. I fell in love with her music from when she put out "Only in my dreams" and now, nearly 20 years later, I still love listening to her music. I was lucky enough to see her in Les Miserables in the early 90s, and I also got to see her in concert twice. She was great in all of them.

    With her level of talent, it really bothers me that she seems to have been all but forgotten by the world. I keep hoping that one day she'll make a comeback, but it just seems more and more unlikely.

    Do you agree?
