Trivia
  • (12 Feb 1997) Unveiled his star on Hollywood "Walk of Fame"
  • His eyes are both blue. However, one pupil is permanently dilated due to a fight, and as a result, one eye looks darker than the other.
  • In 1968 while he was still a struggling artist, Bowie wrote some English lyrics to a French song titled "Comme d'Habitude" (As Usual). His version, "Even a Fool Learns to Love", never did get recorded. But when the French melody caught the attention of Paul Anka, he reworked the lyrics and the song became "My Way". Of course, when Frank Sinatra recorded "My Way" his way, it turned to gold.
