She shot to stardom in her breakout role as Coco Hernandez in the 1980 movie “Fame.” She also sang the movie’s titular song.<\/p>\n

Her biggest hit, however, was in 1983 with her song, “Flashdance \u2026 What a feeling” for the movie, “Flashdance.” The song garnered Cara an Academy Award.<\/p>\n

Cara’s other career accolades included a Golden Globe award as well as a nomination for best supporting actress, a People’s Choice award, an Obie award as a child for her work in theater and an Image award, according to her website.<\/p>\n

According to Moose, Cara died in her Florida home and her cause of death is unknown, but will be “released when information is available.”<\/p>\n
