- This is the KUT-NUP Productions presentation of a documentary which focuses on the life and career of the actress, singer, dancer and songwriter.
The Academy award, Grammy award, Golden Globe, Daytime Emmy, Image award, People's Choice award and Obie award winner's life and career are examined in this provocative film. Some of the footage is sub-par due to the fact that we had limited resources to work with. Any comments and/or criticism are welcomed. We hope you enjoy! Sincerely, the producers.
Really informative story. She was a true gracious star who made it on her own for real. Sorry she had to endure all those trials because she refused to be taken advantage of. Those responsible and those who turned their backs will reap that if they already hadn't. May her soul RIP!
I'm so sad she died two days ago. RIP IRENE We Loved Your Talent!!🧡🧡🧡🧡
She broke black/latin color barriers. Irene was in a class all her own. She called the shots. But I can't help but think that some people were jealous of her talent, beauty, and power. Some just didn't know how to market her-they were the real losers.
Irene Cara (March 18, 1959 in Bronx, New York -November 25, 2022) She Was in The Bronx To Cuban And Puerto Rican Parents!💔😢🙏
She broke Latin barriers. Blacks opened the door for her.
@@teurypotter5376 Black Cuban.
Why we be playing the race card? There was never any race barrier in the music industry, it was about as diverse as anything could be. Trying way too hard to make stuff up that never even existed.
@@claudiascott6484 Her mother was a white Cuban. Dad was a black Puerto Rican. She had Latin roots.
This woman was a legend i would go to her concert in a heartbeat
Irene was blacklisted and imagine how much more we would have heard grim her if they had not done that to Irene Cara,,,, makes me upset. She was an icon
LOVED HER!!!💕Such A SUN RAY OF LIGHT And ENERGY!!!💕 I Was In High School When FAME First Came Out!!!💕 Who Didn’t Want To Be IRENE CARA!!!💕 We Simply Loved Her And The Entire Cast of FAME Especially LEROY!!!💕 FAME Gave People From ALL Backgrounds HOPE, Especially People of Color!!!💕FAME Was Before It’s TIME And Will LIVE On FOREVER In Our HEARTS!!!💕We LOVE You IRENE💕 REST IN POWER💕We Will ALWAYS REMEMBER Your NAME!!! 😎💕🙏🏾Blessings . . . Thank For Sharing This Throwback Clip!!!👊🏾
What is America doing with artists this is more she deserves a star in Hollywood .also she needs a rock n roll hall of fame get it fame
I love Irene Cara!! Oh What A Feeling!
Rest in Peace, Irene Cara (1959-2022)!
So glad I got to see her live in Jesus Christ Superstar onstage during the 1990s, while she toured with the show. She was the main reason I saw that show because I had already seen it twice before. Thanks for sharing your talent, Irene. RIP🙏🏽
"Fame is empty unless it's on your terms, it's on someone else's terms, you're gonna be in trouble" - that quote from Irene is wisdom speaking from her personal experience. I thought I knew her career in real time, but after watching all these segments, I have an even deeper appreciation & admiration for her extraordinary talents & perseverance. Que Dios te bendiga. Thank you kutnup for posting & sharing Ms Cara's story .
Rest in Peace, Love and Light dearest Irene Cara Escalera 3/18/59 - 11/25/22 🥲❤🙏. My condolences to your family, friends & fans around the world. You are forever loved & will always be missed. Thank you for being the best original you - xo !
@@jbyesterday3959 Using an exert from my book "Will You Walk with Me?" (pg 74). "I think most of us need to use our God-given talents to overcome life's negative challenges as we are given them. Once we have accomplished this, we should turn all negative situations into positive learning tools to better ourselves and help others." " I believe there are many people in our society who should stop doubting themselves and their ability to obtain their personal goals. If they would only put their Faith and Trust in Jesus, our Christ, the Son of Man, who came to this earth and literally died for our sins so we all could live again eternally!" I believe through Him "all things are possible." Irene Cara knew this and believed the same in her lifetime. Time to rest know...Irene until He comes to Judge us All.
RIP Babygirl
I loved this series on Irene Cara! She is a true original!
She sang her songs, no lip sync. It was her and her talent. My brain is churning, for irene and for what they did ,to her.
Irene Cara would be a great subject for the Unsung series on TV1.
This episode seemed to be written for such a time as this.😿
Irene Cara Escalera
November 25, 2022
Remember her name!
I had no idea what had happened to Irene after Flashdance. She just got one raw deal after another, her career was stolen from her. Such a cruel story.
Same here. Media was controlled to the point of not knowing what happened to Irene. Now we know and I am truly heartbroken. I think her last days are the absolute worst to hear about. She didn't have to be alone like that. No one does...
Irene was a person who would fight for what she deserved at every downfall and she never gave up. She had faith and may God rest her soul.
That Beautiful Face💜💜💜 Stars aren’t like this anymore 🦄🦄🦄
Talent, an Oscar, great songwriter and stage presence. Sorry manager and even sorrier record company.why did no one stand up for her.
A woman of grace and respect💙💙💙
Long live Queen Irene and God bless you Baby
This is an awesome documentary. I hope IC will finally receive the accolades so well deserved before she passed. RIH Irene Cara. Your star will always shine! 💕
She's correct, alot of artist have stated they were ripped off by record labels. I believe Prince brought awareness to this as well.
Its been happening since the beginning, even the Beatles got shafted.
Yes and prince struggles also believe it or not and was blacklisted his popularity sorry diminished sometime after the mid 90s when he battled with the record companies. He went independent and in 1998 he wrote a song called don’t play me on an acoustic guitar vocal album named the truth. Where he sings about not being played on the radio it seem that his new songs simply were not being given airtime. He also had to take care of a lot of the things that the record company would alone. Anyway thanks for pointing that out. Another one that also brought awareness was George Michael Paul also paid a certain price. And even Michael Jackson started to speak against the record industry exploiting.
@@tubester4567 Little Richard was also shafted and I believe Jimi Hendrix as well
@@Modernaire brought back memories .I remember prince writing slave across his cheek .and changed his name.this is nothing new rip prince Michael George Michael 🙏
Didn't the same happened with TLC and New Edition?
Thank you again for honoring her by capturing her life story....this is a good sendoff to her now that she has passed.
We will remember your name RIP Ms. Irene Cara!!! 😭
Irene was blackballed what of talent she an legend a icon trailblazer.
Irene was an amazing multi-talented artist who’s fame burnt out too soon. Someone should write a book about her and the price of fame. Nevertheless less she made history and no one can ever take that away from her or forget her contributions. I personally will always be fascinated with the fact that she and Stephanie Mills began their careers together and wonder who became the greater and most enduring star.
What a beautiful, respectful documentary. 🙏 r.i.p Irene ❤️
So sad how this talented women was blacklisted and career was destroyed by these corrupted record companies.
Right I did not know she was latino I always thought she was a beautiful Black Girl I Love her and have much respect for her! RIP Irene Cara!!
Fact! An original artist; no sampling she was on her own! She should've been nominated to a music hall of fame!
@@deniseday1898 I used to think she was half black, half Latina.
@@moni1952 to me she had no color. Just a beautiful
person with lots of talent. I am white and would
have taken her for my wife in a second.🌹🙏😊
@@Jimfromearthoo7 that was sweet. ❤
I love Irene Cara❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎵🎵🎵🎵📝📝📝📝

Great Artist...Great Life...What she has been through brings tears...Love from India..
Same here.

Rest well, my sister. It is always hard for the oldest sibling.
Mi amor, rest in dignified honor of eternal sleep, my ever so sweet Princess of Pop, Irene Cara, for your legacy lives on ... Gone too soon ...
💐I REMEMBER IRENE CARA🥀
Trailblazer icon underated legend
I am stunned that her manager Selma Rubin didn't warn her about the music industry or fight for her to get her just rewards as a recording artist...I hope BET does a story on her on "Unsung Hollywood." She certainly deserves it!
Bet Selma, never missed a check.
DJ hi I came in because I just wanted to take look at what needs to be done and there is quite a lot., Waiting for me to get started. Pushed along I have never had anything from last night pulling a little later which was something that I should not have done since I'm still not feeling 100%. However it's best for me to get money to sleep, definitely have my dinner. Because I'm definitely going to need that to be able to concentrate of the things that I will be working on. So I'm getting ready to leave now I don't see you around, telling too many to leave and go home 🏠 and get ready for tomorrow. But I'm going to leave both devices on so you will have access. Email I'm getting ready to leave because tomorrow will be here before I know it okay. The person who never takes off this place is going to scream busy into the great thing but I'll be better prepared tomorrow if they do need to have some sleep first. But please contact me if more clarity is needed. We'll see you sometime tomorrow thanks again and good night. 😺.
She deserves an academy award movie produced by some talented Black producers, and others in the industry. Not a product just to grab cash, but to give Irene Cara the acknowledgement she is so due.
I wish TV One did an Unsung episode on her. For all we know, they probably did reach out to her and she declined, but it would've been nice to get more context on her life and career from Irene's POV.
@@joelgalvan8358 Irene was going through a lot trying to fight for her royalties, just wonder if her husband could have helped more.... since he was an influential award winning stunt director.
She ruled the airwaves & stage before Whitney Houston.
RIP Sister Irene Cara. Job well done, and You are and will be missed. Cares all past, home at Last. Ever to Rejoice in the LORD'S presence.
irene i always remember your name now and forever
Cara should of been awarded alot more.
She deserved an Emmy nomination and award for playing Myrlie Evers in "For Us the Living: The Merger Evers Story" on PBS American Playhouse in 1983. I saw it twice and never forgot her wonderful, award deserving performance. Would love to see it again.
@@51pogo that was a great role Irene played.also roots next generation .plus sparkle
Great lady with a great voice. Thank you for these videos. You definitely inspired me...
A true icon legend trailblazer
What a pathetic shame that she was lied about and vilified by thieving corporate profiteers. I hope there is a deep pit in Hell for greed addicts like that. Just imagine how much we missed of this phenomenal Woman because they blackballed her in the industry.
Loved this lady since she was my childhood crush! Still beautiful and very talented! God bless her!
Rest in Peace Irene Cara (March 18, 1959-November 25, 2022)!💔😢🙏
Thank you, Excellent biography
Outstanding Empress irene
Respect. RIP Princess Irene.
That's my girl love always you was the best❤❤❤
Beautiful Irene R.I.P. Thanks for the awesome footage and this video. I think it put her in the best light but wish they could redo this video with better technology because a lot of the videos and footage were a bit choppy.
I am so touched by this documentary on her
R.I.P. Beautiful one! 😢
I was a fan when she was on Electric Company.
This is what Michael Jackson was saying this. Kenya said the same thing. Prince fought them too. They killed her career. They did her wrong.
Right and it’s interesting that her fight was probably something that started earlier right? But culminated around the time prince fought the record companies which also started possibly sometime in the mid to late 80s when Warner Bros. was canceling three album sets that prince wanted to release down to a two album set and the industry including MTV has been revealed by one of his former band members that purposely picked the middle of America Wyoming to debut his second film. But even George Michael thought his leg when he actually lost and that was probably a very serious. Also for him. And it should also be noted that Kirstie Alley also was blackballed.
@@Modernaire I remember terrible Rip Prince George Michael Irene 🙏

@@kutnup Well, that server can no longer be found in 2022. Will try the Internet Archive.
i Love her always
This was great -- thank you!
I must say that she was a very very strong person and to be very honest with you I don't even know how she did what she did be not there on your own, especially in so many people were determined that she would never be nothing instructor completely in the USA. And I don't know who instructed her to go abroad and give it a shot over there when she did and she was absolutely phenomenal, and again we heard nothing about this in the US and we have no idea where Irene Cara had disappeared to and never knowing the tormented life that she was actually having to live. To be very honest with you I don't know how she did it, it's like she said everyone needs someone, however it is particular situation who could she really turn to. There's just so much more that I'd like to say, however I'm just have a total disbelief of what this young beautiful gifted young lady woman, with so much if the talent and starting for me young age, where did she get her drive. And she was so very determined that what was going on in the US was not going to break her and the woman that who she was. But I'm bombarded group of people that could do that and be so animalistic to another human being a young woman, oh I asked God why. I mean I really am so sorry of a life and everything that you had to go through because you did not deserve what the record company and like you said people that didn't even know you also trying to destroy you. But you hung in there and you still continue to fight by giving it all in all by going to other countries and letting it be known that you were not dead and that you were still very much alive. I just can't even say anymore or even write anymore because I'm just so hurt and choked up in the motions, for everything wrong that you endeared in your life. As far as I'm concerned I'll be criminals that have a part and what they did to you, need to be sent to jail for life, never seen the day again they're bombarded and I can't even call them human being for what they did to you, and now going the truth about what happened to you they also did it to us as well, your friends, your fans, and for so many others that just did not know what in the world and happened to you, and now we know the truth. I will always love you my sister in Christ, it is not enough words in my heart that can even begin to express how I truly and truly I'm so emotionally taken back behind all of this brutal brutality that you endured way too much for anyone. Please rest in peace my sister in Christ, and Irene how could you ever be forgotten, you don't even know how to explain the beauty of your magnetism of everything that you did throughout your life, still trying to survive the amount of pressure that you are under. But you did when you were still winning awards even if it was abroad and we weren't aware but you were doing what you had to do as the angel that you are. I'm so very proud I will be achievements that you were able to accomplish back in the day when things were too much easy for you and how we all became to know you, and how you shined some little girl, as far back as far back as the dead Mac amateur hour, such a beautiful little girl can grow up to be such a beautiful woman. No I mean you were exceptionally gifted, and anyone that knows of you would definitely agree. Sweetheart you will always be remembered as the angel that you are in you will always beat up sister in my heart, that I grew up admiring. Irene Cara, your brother so much joy you asking you son to always remember your name, it will never ever be forgotten, as long as I have the breath inside of me which I breathe. Much love to you , my big sis.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀

You can't beat a goid man down.
3:04-3:32 They do the damage, feign justice and no restitution is actually paid
Marsha Creary Aman!!!.and not a day in jail and tried to offer me a plea bargain of 10 years at 85 percent for panhanding in la in 2013 and not a penny was missing from anyone...yeah right aka Irene Cara husband. Aka Jesus aka the great one...!??!
I watched this entire discontinuous series. They made a big deal about her 1980 move *_"FAME",_* but I don't recall hearing anything about her 1983 move *_"Flashdance"._* Did I miss something?
RIP
Good for her
Nice
That is so sad
Always read the small print :(
What happened to part 3!!!!!!!
African American Latina??? WHAT!!!! I guess back then the Afro-Latina was not even a word. Much respect and love for Irene, the first Afro-Latina pop super star.
Irene Cara Was Born To Puerto Rican And Cuban Parents in A Sector Of The Bronx, New York!
Rest in Peace Irene Cara (Bronx, New York March 18, 1959-Florida, November 25, 2022)!💔😢🙏
Well she was born in the states so it does make her afro-american and Latina given her Latin roots.
@@teurypotter5376 she still BLACK.
@@missshannon9790 And quite often Irene definitely acknowledge her blackness as well as embrace but not neglect her Latin roots either.
Wish you all the best Irene
I wish you all the best Irene Cara
and please come back,
You still the greatest

I love youuuuuuuuuuuu!
But you dont know thy. 😞
Why, did not a shyster lawyer, step in for a percentage and get her money. She had contracts and copyrights.
"karma"
That is terrible glad she won
Its interesting you didn't talk about her long relationship with Stanley Clarke.
We posted part 3 several times but they keep taking it down with no explanation. I'll try to repost at a later date. Stay tuned!
Did you ever get to post part 3?
Also thank you so much!!!
would like to see this, post again please!
I hope the Grammys and the Oscars do a tribute for Irene Cara and Judith Durham of the seekers too and Jerry Lee lewis too
