Irene Cara Remembered By Colleagues, Friends And Fans

Irena Cara was considered a trailblazer in her career. Best known for her work in “Fame” and “Flashdance,” she was a veteran of Broadway, TV, music and film, and an inspiration to generations who saw a bit of themselves in her performances and aspired to greater things.

Some reactions to news of her death:

This breaks my ❤️ to hear. #IreneCara was one of the first women I saw singing, dancing & acting in color not B&W who looked like me. Seeing her in #Fame changed my life. 1 of the first 45s I remember owning was her beautiful song #AnyoneCanSee. It’s still one of my favorites. https://t.co/JNImrMyAjy

On behalf of every Eighties’ teenager who donned their leotard and legwarmers, danced to Fame in front of the mirror and dreamed of one day enrolling at the High School of Performing Arts…thank you Irene Cara. May you rest in peace #RIPIreneCara https://t.co/CwaGyAilqZ

‘Fame’ was the ultimate NYC theme song in 1980 the year I graduated from High School. It captured determination even for those with the greatest odds stacked against them.

Thank you & Rest in Peace
