It is with profound sadness and shock that I share my thoughts and feelings about the recent passing of Irene Cara. Life is so fragile and it seems to move so quickly… Irene’s passing feels like a wake up call to “Do what you love!” And to “Do it now!”

2. The first time I saw Irene on screen was in the film Sparkle, in 1976. I was 12 years-old. I watched the film at the Edison movie theater on 103rd and Bdway in Manhattan. This was the type of movie theater where people talked to the screen, so it was loud, visceral and alive.
3. I was taken in by the film and the magic of Lonette McKee’s work, and then the incredible talent of Irene Cara. Her singing and honesty in her work as an actress was captivating and so fully present in the moment, she lit up the screen.
