Who is Bebe Buell?

Bebe Buell Biography

Beverle Lorence “Bebe” Buell was born on July 14, 1953, in Portsmouth, Virginia, USA, of part German descent. Her father, Harold Lloyd Buell, was a World War II veteran and a United States Navy officer. Her mother, Dorothea Brown Johnson, was a founder of the Protocol School of Washington. At the time of her birth, her father was absent and her mother did not know what to call her. In the maternity ward, all the nurses called her Baby, so her nickname remained ‘Bebe’.

Beginning of Bebe Buell’s career

At age 17, after graduating from high school, Bebe was spotted by modeling agency executive Eileen Ford, and she moved to New York City at age 18 for more modeling opportunities. For the November 1974 issue, Bebe was Playboy’s Playmate of the Month. Richard Fegley was her photographer for the centerfold. She continued her modeling career in Europe with the prestigious Wilhelmina Agency and appeared on the pages of British, French and Italian Vogue, Harper’s Queen and Cosmopolitan. She hung out with the jet set at the time and with the likes of Jack Nicholson and Andy Warhol. Mick Jagger once said that he would always take her as an escort to a high society dinner or a ball. Because of her incredible beauty, she was nicknamed ‘Friend To The Stars’.

Although she was very successful in the modeling world because of her beauty, Bebe always wanted to be a musician and singer. In the high school choir, she sang unique contralto. Her music career began in the early 1980s when she formed a band, the B-Sides. Bebe recorded a four-song EP, “Cover Girl”, in 1981 on Rhino Records with the band The Cars on two tracks; the producers were Rick Derringer and Ric Ocasek.

Good luck

When she started dating John Taylor (Duran Duran), he gathered some other rock musician friends and formed the band Power Station in 1984. Bebe formed another band, the Gargoyles, and released a few singles in 1985. This band attracted the attention and interest of some renowned record labels, but Bebe left them in the early 1990s because she wanted to spend more on her daughter’s career. She was the career manager of her daughter, actress and model Liv Tyler and actress Charis Michelsen.

In the late 1990s, she quit that job and returned to a solo music career. In 2000, she recorded a solo effort with producer Don Fleming, and performed in New York with her Bebe Buell Band, made up of ex-group members Rudds and the Neighborhoods drummer Johnny Lynch, plus her husband, James Wallerstein. After a 10-year hiatus, she released a single “Air Kisses for the Masses” in May 2009, followed by a 12-song album available for download from iTunes or Amazon MP3. Two years later, in 2011, Bebe released “Hard Love” produced by Wallerstein and Stephen DeAcutis, a rock album influenced by glam rock and grunge.

Bebe’s personal life
