Irene Cara, the Oscar & Grammy-winning singer and actress of Fame and Flashdance sadly passed away at the age of 63.
Irene Cara, the legendary actress and singer, has passed away at age 63. She is best known for singing two hit songs that dominated 1980s pop culture. The first was the title song "Fame" from the 1980 film Fame, in which she also played triple threat High School of the Performing Arts student Coco Hernandez. That song would go on to win both the Golden Globe and the Academy Award for Best Original Song. She followed that up by co-writing and performing "Flashdance...
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Today, the passing of the iconic "Flashdance" singer was announced by her publicist via Cara's official Twitter account. The actress passed away in her home in Florida of causes that are currently unknown but will be made public when they are discovered. Her family is currently handling arrangements, and a fan memorial will be planned in the near future.
The fact that her most prominent work was largely contained in one decade does not diminish the impact it has had on culture throughout the years. Both "Fame" and "Flashdance" are iconic works that have endured throughout the years even before pop culture turned toward 1980s nostalgia with projects like Netflix's hit retro series Stranger Things.
Without Irene Cara, those two huge pop culture tentpoles of the 1980s simply wouldn't have existed in the same way. Her energy and passion are palpable in both performances, which has lent them their immortal charm. Although she has passed away, her legacy will live on forever through what she leaves behind, where she can continue to be celebrated by her friends, family, and fans.
