This hurts my heart so much.” Cara sang on the soaring title song with the chorus — “Remember my name/I’m gonna live forever/I’m gonna learn how to fly/I feel it coming together/People will see me and cry” — which would go on to be nominated for an Academy Award for best original song.

'I don't mean to sound immodest, but I never had any doubt that I'd be successful, nor any fear of success. I was raised as a little goddess who was told she would be a star'- Irene Cara We will forever remember your name and your 'Fame' 💗

That is so sad. RIP. 💜

“Sometimes I wonder where I’ve been, Who I am, do I fit in…” RIP Irene.

RIP , Great singer, beautiful voice. I don't know why that comes in my mind, but someone said years ago, people are like space rockets, only the best take off. We keep the worst as presidents.

Too young, rest in peace Irene

😢😢
