| Although Irene was born in the Bronx, she moved into our Mitchell-Lama mid-Manhattan co-op when she was 10 (53 years ago). Our building was brand new. She was already a professional. Occasionally she would entertain at a co-op event. Her mom was a cashier at our ground floor grocery. Her mom, of course, took pride in her accomplishments and we watched Irene's professional growth (which seemed to wane as she searched for adult roles -- I may be wrong -- and just lost track of her). What a talent. | |

| She was quite popular during the 1980s, and "Fame" and "Flashdance" were two very popular dance and music-oriented films of that period. Plus she won an Oscar for writing a Best Song. I'd rather thought more folks might have some memories or stories about her to share. | |

| You’re welcome! I have to admit I may have shed a tear watching and listening to that perfomance after not having seen it for so many years. Not only did she sing the song so movingly but also acted it so well. | |
