Irene Cara Where She Died and Her Final Days | 80s Icon of Flashdance and Fame

[@debbiedeets2947]

I was there to clean her house once a week for eight years starting in Newport Ritchie. She would talk to the members of her band on occasion, and when I first met her she was still touring. She said she may $20,000 a show!!!! She was a wonderful person, and she really deserved to be much happier in her life 😢

[@JulieIelasi-lt7yp]

Soundest like a lot but it isn't really because the next show maybe ages away ?

[@glenh6503]

As hard as it is. Let's remember to experience the joy, happiness and shine that Ms. Cara gave us. To remember how Ms. Cara creates perpetual beauty, and hope. GOD BLESS YOU, MS. IRENE CARA ❤❤❤❤❤Glen Hillebrand

Thanks for sharing! Surprised th as t none of her siblings have ever been interviewed or seen in any photos over the years. She was a beautiful angel who will always be missed.

[@lf1496]

As an Afro Cuban Afro Puerto Rican from the Bronx myself she was a huge influence on me. My mother loved her and always showed my sister and I her movies. There are so few Afro Latinas in the US media. She was beautiful, multi talented and will be missed. 🇨🇺🇵🇷❤️

[@Mythoughtsreviews]

We all die alone🤷

[@emss5472]

dying alone is no very different from dying accompanied, you will have to cross THE VALLEY OF DEATH ALONE ANYWAY, no one goes with you, but of course when we die if there is someone there to say some prayers for us it greatly facilitates our passage, but it shows us that we are here in passing and to die we just need to be alive, I hope her soul is well and at peace because she looked very lonely and sad person.

My brother passed alone in his house just the month before Cara. He passed from pancreatic cancer, and there for the last 2 months, he became a hermit too. But with me, we were so close that the night before, I just had this very uneasy feeling like I had trouble breathing and SO much anxiety. I believe it was my brother telling me in spirit that he was leaving this earth. I asked my hubby to go check on him the very next morning, and sure enough.....😢. May Irene Cara rest in peace, and also my brother.

She sold her house in Newport Ritchie. Earlier than that, she had a Home in Hawaii. She had to take care of her older sister, and all of her older sister’s children.

My uncle Jefre grew up with her and they were close back then. Said she was a star 🌟 always carried herself like a Queen

She did and had all that and had only a net worth of 2 Million!

[@alexdoe6338]

How do you know this? not saying you're lying, but that would make sense as she never married again. I just wonder what made her become a recluse and a bit paranoid it seems. I spent many years in Florida dn t o have such a gate as the front door is very strange. I personally never seen that until this video. And I'm also surprised none of her relatives lied with her. That's a fairly big house for just one person. I cannot find any photos of her in recent years except for her attending the remake of Sparkle.

[@curtismichael4703]

Thank you for showing her home because as a fan I was interested. After seeing that she lived such a modest lifestyle, I’m not surprised that she she was so adamant about her privacy. It anger’s me that she should have been much more financially well off due to the success her recordings/songwriting. It was the president of Network Records who blackballed/derailed her career after being bitter about her lawsuit against the label. He literally stole millions from her and all she recouped was 1 million dollars. She had no choice but to live modestly after that outcome. I truly was a fan of Irene Cara and feel that their hasn’t been anything close to a tribute fitting her contribution to the entertainment industry. She was a successful actress in the 70’s and an eighty’s icon. Both her movies and music lives on.

[@debbiedeets2947]

The house had a nice pool in the backyard. She tried to revamp her career with a podcast. She was a recluse. Even as a young girl, she was very artistic. She was definitely one of a kind!!!! GOD BLESS YOU IRENE!!! She also had a house in Santa Fe. I’ve visited the house with her. She was into spirituality, and she was pretty fed up with the world. After the lawsuit and having to defend herself, it all ate away at her.

[@eviedevet2172]

I loved her voice. Thank you Scott for sharing this video. May Irene rest in peace 💞

[@kennydemartini2169]

Out of all of the songs played at my senior prom in '83, the Flash dance song is the only one I can remember. Every time I hear it, it takes me back to the night I had my first date with a cute little girl that I'll be celebrating 35 years of marriage with this year.

[@tiraswinton7242]

I loved her! Especially in Sparkle. That's a classic. It's so sad to hear how the music industry blackballed her for standing up for herself that she ended up living a reclusive life. 😢

[@debbiedeets2947]

I saw her three months before she died. Her ankles were swollen and she told me I had been a good friend. I had great empathy for her. When she gained some weight, she didn’t want to be out in public.

[@TheSkete]

She had formed an all girl band the last decade or so of her life. And from what I read from one of her band mates, she wanted to get back out there, but was afraid to pull the trigger. She would get them all together in the studio to record something, and then, not put it out for the public. I don't blame her. The industry really did a number on her. I don't blame her for being a recluse either. I'm one on the weekends when I don't have to work. Thanks for showing us her home. May she RIP...

I concur with your observation that Irene was just a likeable girl who never forced herself to get attention despite her raw talent. I appreciated her talent in the few movies I saw her appear in as well as some songs like her cover version of the standard Look Into Your Heart which she performed with the same tenderness as Aretha's version.

That's not true. We're not angels. We have a soul that goes back to God. Your soul either goes to Heaven or Hell. Jesus is the way, truth, and the life. No one comes close to the father except thru him. John 14,6. You cannot enter the kingdom of God unless you're born again. John 3,3 I love Irene too but,if you die without Christ. You will go to Hell. You have to repent before Christ and surrender your life to him.🙏

[@krissyyoung9264]

⁠@@chv307It’s the biblical truth, the truth of God Who created all, that we must be born again to go to heaven. We’re born again when we BELIEVE that Christ Jesus saved us at the cross by shedding His blood for the forgiveness of all sin. “Surrender your life to Christ”, is not a biblical statement, and may give people the impression that you must do more than simply BELIEVE on Christ’s finished work in order to be saved. Yes! No one goes to heaven within being IN CHRIST~~ but it’s by FAITH in Him, ALONE.

Wonderful tribute. I've watched the movie Fame so many times as a child because I loved the musical aspect especially the graduation. I wanted I high school graduation like that, it was and still is the best graduation I've ever seen in my life. The song Hot Lunch from the cafeteria scene was one of my favorite scenes.

Good up-front research on your part Scott on an 80s icon whom is etched in the North American collective memory as a pioneer of pop culture. For those of us who lived through the 80s and remember most of the music, movies and videos; Irene Cara was legendary.

[@OnTheGoWithFlo-Kid22]

What a beautiful voice she had and such talent. It's very sad that fighting for what was obviously hers, because she won, put her on a blacklist and probably took away from her more than what she gained in winning the legal battle. It's also extremely sad how she died alone but it also almost seems like that's what she wanted. I feel sorry for her. Sounds like she may have been suffering from depression. Scott, I love how you are always so compassionate and nonjudgmental. It's easy for some people to talk bad of the dead because they are not there to defend themselves. With you, there's never that concern. It's just facts without prejudice. RIP to this beautiful lady who gave the world some wonderful music from deep within her heart and soul 💐

She wasn't much older than me. I am pushing the 60 button this year.

I loved Flashdance too, that was a great movie. I remember some of the characters names but not all. Coco, Bruno and Leroy are the main ones. I too have diabetes and hypertention and heart attacks run on my Dad's side of the family. I also live as a type of 'Hermit'. You get to a certain age and if your life hasn't been good then you learn to just not trust people any longer especially when your own flesh and blood has broke your heart and let you down and friends and lovers or ex to be precise all break your heart and let you down so I just live in a reasonably quiet bay just off the high street and keep myself to myself.

Beautifully done. When I heard she had passed it was like a punch to the gut. Flashdance is one of my fave songs of all time
