Irene Cara, an Oscar-winning singer and actress who recorded the title songs for the blockbuster 1980s films “Fame” and “Flashdance,” has diéd at the age of 63, according to her publicist.

Cara was discovered dead at her Florida home on Friday, according to publicist Judith Moose, who added that the cause of déath was unknown at this time.

“She was a beautifully gifted soul whose legacy will live forever through her music and films,” Moose stated earlier in a written statement.

Cara is most known for singing the title song of the 1980s film “Fame,” which depicts the lives of students in a New York performing arts high school.

She played Coco Hernandez in the film, a character devised for her after she was first hired as a dancer. Cara’s efforts got her nominations for best new artist and best female pop performer at the Grammys.

Cara also co-wrote and performed the smash hit “Flashdance—What a Feeling” for the 1983 film of the same name, which depicted the life of aspiring dancer Jennifer Beals.

Cara won an Oscar for best original song and two Grammys for the song in 1984.

Cara was schooled as a youngster in music, dancing, and singing, and at a young age in the 1970s, she appeared on stage and in television, including “The Tonight Show” with Johnny Carson – at the time, a significant step to becoming someone in entertainment in America.

“I can’t believe I had to write this, let alone disseminate the news,” Moose wrote.

“Please share your thoughts and memories of Irene; I’ll be reading them all and know she’ll be smiling from Heaven; she adored her fans,” she added.

Cara later appeared in films such as “DC Cab” and “City Heat,” as well as on television shows. She also appeared in the theater.
