It depends on the engine, where and how bad the gasket failure is, etc. If you run an engine with a blown head gasket that has allowed anti-freeze to contaminate the oil, you'll probably wipe out the motor.

Why would a car with a blown head gasket not start?
Because the head gasket is blown.
What damage can be caused by blown head gasket?
Along with the head gasket you often get warping of the head. Coolant will get mixed with the oil causing engine bearing and ring damage if the car was driven after the head gasket blew. If you continue to drive the car you will eventually ruin the engine.
Can a car still start with a blown head gasket or motor?
Sure it will start with a blown head gasket. But, if you continue to run this engine with a blown head gasket you will destroy the engine.
I have a car I paid 1000 for and put in 1000 towards fixing up. Motor blew head gasket. Do I buy a rebuilt motor installed for 1500 or spend that money on a different used car?
Neither. Have a new head gasket installed. That is assuming you did not completely ruin the engine by continuing to drive it after the head gasket blew. If you did indeed ruin this engine, then the decision should be based on what the car is worth in the first place.

96 dodge neon overheated heard a grinding noise and car stalled out would no longer start you know your water pump and timing belt are gone is it possible i cracked the head or blew the head gasket?
There is no way of knowing until you fix the water pump and timing belt. The car stalled because of the timing belt. If the water pump was doing anything before it went, the car shouldn't have overheated so it is probably alright as far a head or head gasket.
Would a blown head gasket make your car hard to start?
