She made her debut on television and the stage in the 1970s, including on PBS and Johnny Carson's "The Tonight Show." For singing and co-writing the song "Flashdance... What a Feeling" from the movie "Flashdance," Cara earned an Academy Award for Best Original Song and a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 1984.

Who was Irene Cara's husband?

Conrad E. Palmisano and Cara were wed in the past. Cara married Palmisano on April 13, 1986, and declared him to be her spouse. On the set of "A Certain Fury," where her now-ex-husband Palmisano was the stunt coordinator, the couple first met in 1984. Together with his wife, he co-starred in the 1987 movie "Busted Up." The couple later split in 1991 because their marriage did not produce any children. Her ex-husband is said to have become the head of the Stuntmen's Association and a movie director following their divorce, while Cara is said to have avoided dating after their split. Meanwhile, as news about the star's death spread, many on social media paid tribute to the late singer. One person wrote on Twitter, "I first met Ms. Irene Cara many years ago, she was truly a beautiful, kind and spiritual woman. She even sent me a gift package to my home and still hold dear to my heart. You will be truly missed." "I'm not super familiar with Irene's career, but I loved her in 'Fame' as Coco. Also, it doesn't matter how bad you feel, you can't help but feel invincible when you hear the 'Fame' theme song. Fly high, Ms. Cara. We'll remember your name," another added. "May her soul rest peacefully and May the angels welcome her to paradise. I was a teen in the 80s and her songs were anthems to us." yet another user remarked.
