Description: Irene Cara Said This Before She Died | Warning Signs Were There Irene Cara, the singer behind huge '80s hits from "Flashdance" and "Fame" has died. Cara passed away in her Florida home Friday, according to her rep. Details surrounding her death were not disclosed. Irene won an Oscar for Best Original Song for "What a Feeling" -- the iconic song from "Flashdance" which made her a household name. Irene also scored big with her monster hit, "Fame" from the movie of the same name. She was nominated for a Golden Globe for "Best Actress" for her work in the movie. Cara went on to appear in other movies, including "City Heat," co-starring Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds. She also played opposite Tatum O'Neal in "Certain Fury." In 2004, Irene was honored with a Prestige Award for Lifetime Achievement. Her rep said, "It is with profound sadness that on behalf of her family I announce the passing of Irene Cara. Irene’s family has requested privacy as they process their grief. She was a beautifully gifted soul whose legacy will live forever through her music and films." Judith Moose said Cara passed away at her Florida home, adding the cause of death was "unknown and will be released when information is available". "This is the absolute worst part of being a publicist … I can't believe I've had to write this, let alone release the news," Ms Moose wrote. Born in New York to a Puerto Rican father and Cuban-American mother, Cara's first taste of show business success was as a teenager in the 1976 musical drama Sparkle. She hit the top of the charts in 1980 with Fame, recording the title song for a movie that she also appeared in. Cara was married to stuntman and film director Conrad Palmisano between 1986 and 1991, and had no children. Rest in power queen
