So I've been digging, loves, and look what I dragged in...That's Right! You see her. Irene Cara!! Irene Cara was born March 18, 1959 (WOW! She is currently 54 years old.) Irene is an American singer and actress. She is best known for her recordings of the songs "Fame" and "Flashdance... What a Feeling," for which she won an Academy Award in 1984 in the category of Best Original Song. She also starred in the 1976 film Sparkle and the 1980 film version of Fame. Sometime after that, she continued to perform minor work before just completely falling off the map. Her last public comeback was seen in Debbie Allen re-digging up FAME in 2008, allowing Cara another rise for FAME! Miss Cara was one of my old school favorites! If your curious to know what nationality this striking beauty is, Irene's father, Gaspar Cara (died in 1994), was an Afro-Caribbean Puerto Rican. Her mother, Louise, is an American of French and Cuban descent.
